What to take on the plane with you is a fun thing to think about. You've got 23kg baggage allowance, and 7kg in cabin. That's not much more crap than you can fit in a tramping pack, yet that is going to be the foundation of your new life. Your new hobo life, where triple-reverse undie wearing is the norm.
The parameters of my thinking are:
- I'm going to come back
- Storage units aren't that expensive, so I can keep whatever I want in NZ (price may change that decision)
So, the list!
- Smartphone, obviously - that's my memory, my to-do list, my calendar, my map. If they've got NFC working over there, it'll be half my wallet too! Maybe I should get another battery for it, I'll be kicking it's ass when I'm over there for a while.
- My business laptop. Again, pretty obvious reasons!
- NZ Mementos:
- My friend, upon moving to Melbourne, got some of this wordblock stuff (ALL THE RAGE) and I can see that being rad. It's tacky as the kitchen floor to have that shit over here, but I can imagine it'll take on a different meaning over there.
- I particularly like this one:
- Pics of my friends and family. Because Facebook doesn't cut it. I am undecided whether I'd want photo albums, probably not.
- Some of my little nick-knack shit. Like my worlds best larry mug.
- Clothes. I know I'll buy a lot of new clothes over there, so no stress, but I'll have bigger things to worry about than clothes for a while.
- Suit - get a job!
- A bit of business attire - 2x favourite shirts, and some pants. The shoes are covered with the suit. That's right ladies, I wear the same shoes for everything.
- Another pair of pants, and a couple of shirts and that for regular wear (on top of what I fly in)

Well that is about it. That is way more boring than I thought it'd be. Terror of packing myth debunked: BLOG OVER.
Also: kindle. Forgot the kindle.
