070209_tf_traveltech1.jpgJuly is travel month at Unplggd and I'm happy to tell you that I'm leaving for Boston in the morning and spent last night packing. In an effort to save some cash (read: I'm broke), I decided not to check luggage for my weekend trip. That means that with space at a premium in my carry-on, I have to edit my travel tech selections...

But the reality is that some things had to stay back and keep the TV and stereo company back at the house.

I decided to bring my BlackBerry, because I couldn't detach it from my hand if I tried; my iPod nano and charger, to keep the tunes flowing during the wait at the airport and on the plane; and my digital camera with an extra memory card, for the all-important trip snapshots. The laptop and a few power cords had to stay back. I'm just running on the hope that my batteries will last the weekend.
