Onwards and upwards, my friend

So I’ve been working on coordinating everyone’s travel itineraries. Everything should be settled within the next couple days and one lucky cast member – our least traveled, in fact – will get a crash course in the vagabond lifestyle. And it should look a little like this:

• Drive from Louisiana to Ft. Lauderdale (approx 15 hours)
• Fly to L.A. at 7am (approx 5 hours)
• Leave a day and a half later from L.A.
• Connect in London (approx 10hours)
• Fly to Hong Kong (approx 12 hours)
• Haul ass to connect to our final destination: Bangkok, Thailand! (approx 2 hours)

Total travel time: approximately 44 hours, not including layovers. You’re welcome, Jeremiah.

So since I am the bearer of this itinerary, I figured I’d show him around L.A. a bit. That is, if his fear of flying doesn’t propel him into permanent catatonia.

Stay tuned…

I promised in last week’s post, Top Ten Packing Surprises, that I’d break down my dream gear bag for everyone this week. Well, despite having been widely criticized for my comment about American condoms, I have decided to be upstanding about my promises: my complete travel kit, in a handy, checkbox form.

Brian's bag was full of beer. What about mine?

Not just any beer. IceHouse.

If you see any glaring omissions (that don’t fall under the Obvious category, like a passport), then leave them for me in comments, or email me your own Complete Pack breakdown.
