Ok, today I didn’t have to think about being old. Today I feel old. Mostly tired. So, I mostly did nothing except my fitness walk.
Also, thought seriously about what I’ll be taking on my trip north.
Suitcase with wheels, little ladylike backpack, daypack to use on Zodiacs.
Plenty of room for origami paper, drugs (an extra large box of Dramamine), and all manner of cables and chargers. The electronic gear goes in the backpack. I would like to take the MacBook. I don’t need it. But, 20 days w/o reliable wifi, I might like the Mac. Especially since I am guessing that there will be a lot of downtime on this voyage. The trip that cost twice as much had more activities. But, as I have mentioned before… Few activities suit my elderly self just fine. Lounging in a chair, drinking coffee, and looking for whales counts as an activity in my world.
Oh and what would I actually do with the Mac, well, cull and catalog photos from 2021 and 2022. But, that can also be done in Kona. And for sure I’ll be taking the computer with me to Kona. Maybe it should stay in the Old Bat Cave. All safe and sound. I’ll have 4 pounds fewer to schlep. And an extra sweater might be more useful!
Excellent burger and Guinness for dinner. A good way to end the day.
