Around the world in 75 Days

No, it doesn't take 75 days; that's how long before we leave. The crown (it's on my tooth, not my head) is working out pretty well, and the exercise seems to actually be helping somewhat (with my weight/fitness, not my tooth). I need to go through my clothes, shoes, etc. and see what I've got and what I may still need. I've gotten used to the synthetic tee shirts, as opposed to cotton. I'm going to have to get more of those, whether for the trip or not. They dry a lot quicker and feel much cooler.

I got some insoles for my hiking shoes. I probably should have gotten the Superfeet, or something more support oriented, but I went for comfort instead. I wore them for my daily walk yesterday and they felt pretty good. I'll have to try them a few more times to be certain they'll work for me.

I got a case for my laptop. It's a little bulkier than I really wanted, but it provides pretty good padding and space for the mouse and the external hard drive. I'm also getting a sleeve to provide extra padding, and a way to carry the laptop when I don't want to carry the bigger bag.
