One of the drawbacks of being a “gadget freak” is you end up having more “necessities” than normal when you’re up and about.1

I also bring my iPad more often than not. Then there’s the MiFi for internet connectivity. And to prevent any of those devices dying on me in the middle of the day, I bring a portable battery pack along.

All that – for a regular day.

It gets even more complicated when on an trip out of town/country. Apart form those mentioned above, one has to consider the need to use other gadgets for tasks that would normally be done at the end of the day (computer/laptop). And let’s not forget real cameras, whenever on an interesting “trip.”

I also think my being a pack-rat comes with the territory of having so much shit to bring along, so I pretty much have to accept that for the most part, I’ll never be “traveling light” in the truest sense of the phrase. What I can be though, is efficient.

    1. And by “normal,” I mean your keys, phone, and wallet.
