How about That Carry-On?
Prompt: What is something you always take when you go on vacation?

----------

*Rolling* My first reactionary answer is: My mind or what’s left of it.

Joking aside, it has to be one or all of these depending on where I am going and how long--after the bare necessities of underwear, clothes, and medication: cellphone, purse, laptop, e-reader.

If the vacation is two days or less, just the cellphone (I finally got a Samsung) will be enough. Longer than that, my laptop will be added. I used to carry an e-reader everywhere, but I can read on the Android, so my favorite e-reader has been relocated from my purse to the bedroom. The other e-readers reside in different rooms of the house.

Since I always have several pens, a tiny pad, and loose papers in my purse, I can satisfy my longing for old fashioned writing tools You have no idea how strong that longing hits when it does.

Fact is we used to travel an awful lot, but now, I’ve turned into a homebody, which my hubby isn’t very happy about, but I made it a take-it-or-leave-it thing, and he had to concede. Thus, even my thinking about this is probably obsolete, but I couldn’t help myself just like my longing for old-fashioned tools.
