The Packing Dilema

So it appears my wife an I have different views on what should be packed for a 22 day trip to Thailand. 
We both agree that the items should be minimal and necessities. I guess we just don't agree on what "necessities" are. 


I have attached a photo below of my luggage in what should be the final state before zipping up and jetting off...

Man-case with the bare "necessities"

For those of you with poor eyesight I have provided a list of items in bullet point. (This blog caters for old people)

• XBOX 360 console
• XBOX 360 wireless controller in cammo
• RJ45 Lan cable
• Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare 2 & Black Ops
• 15 y.o. Single malt scotch (750ml)
• Scotch glass
• Awesome horned fluffy Jamiroquai hat
• 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate
• Mini MAGLite Torch
• Leatherman multitool
• Trashy (really trashy) men's mag
• Reeboks
• T-Shirt (COD Black Ops)
• Undies (South Park)
• Boardies (with skull/dragon motif)
• Toothbrush

Pretty well done I reckon. My luggage contains entertainment for rainy days, chocolate for getting over living-out-of-a-bag depression, torch so I can find the toilet, a change of clothes, toothbrush for my pearly-pegs, runners for escaping lady-boy attacks and bottled fluid to drink, (as I am told not to drink form the tap).

I am wearing my thongs on the day so no need to pack them, and the fluffy horned hat will keep my head warm on the long plane flight to Bangkok.

Under the instruction of wifey contents have been removed and replaced with clothes and cameras, chargers, socks and shit that I could have purchased over there if I needed them. I can't really argue with Vicky or fault her logic though. She does always seem to know what is best :)

Two more sleeps and we are outta here! I already can't sleep from the excitement. This is good and bad. Good because I surf the inter-nets and find interesting things and bad because I find interesting things on the inter-nets, which brings about my final fun thing for today...

The latest craze/meme going is "Owling" (or should I say "Batting" as owling was sooo last week...) If you aren't sure what owling is well, I have attached a photo of me owling-around at home. Perched atop the couch in our living room pretending to be an owl...

Owling - When planking just isn't awesome enough

Funny as! I should throw in a couple of owling pics along the way as I feel as though I have got the owl thing going on. 

Thanks to everyone who has had a look and especially thanks for voting on the quick poll - looks like I'll be doing everything but ensuring bed jumps feature.

I'm off! -Chris
