Drifting Across the World…

My gear and gadgets inside the bag…

1) ASUS Eee PC 1005HA (price: $320, Amazon) – This gadget was bought specifically for this trip and it has been amazing.  Worth every penny, I’ve been able to blog, upload the photos you all love so much, check maps, look up info on different cities, and book hostels.  It is extremely compact coming in at a whopping 10.1 inches.  Extremely light weight and fits easily into my backpack.  If you are thinking about taking a laptop with you, do it, and get this Asus Eee PC 1005HA.

2) The North Face Cat’s Meow Sleeping Bag (price: $160, REI) – I’ve had a couple nights where I look at the bed in the hostel or see the windows are shitty and think to myself that it would be nice to have a sleeping bag… oh wait, I do.  This guy has been awesome.  Rated to work down to 20 degrees F, this synthetic sleeping bag compresses down into an 8 x 17  stuff sack that weighs about 2 and 1/2 pounds.  Check it out at REI and pick up a few other items while you’re there.
