Trip Planning Can Be Boring

Most of these posts have been of the ‘oh boy I’m so excited I just planned/researched/booked x, y, or z!’ sort.  But there’s a boring side to trip planning.  Take, for example, what I just spent the last hour or so doing–comparison shopping for money belts and looking for travel sized laundry soap.  Can you say ‘Zzzzzzzzz’?  And the worst part was that I actually had to spend money on said items.  That was the least fun research and purchase so far.  But in seven to ten business days, I will be the proud owner of a neck wallet, a money belt, a travel laundry kit with suction-cup-y clothesline, and two sets of different electrical adapters.  Oh boy oh boy!
