So today I did some more trip preparation. I worked on several things and tried not to watch too much basketball. (Like THAT is even possible.) I worked over our little netbook by activating the free copy of McAfee and downloading the latest Microsoft updates. Ran a scan using Microsoft Defender. Spent some time trying to understand the interactions between defender and McAfee. Not sure if I should have both active at the same time. Microsoft Defender is limited to spyware if I understand correctly. I purchased a little wireless mouse to use with the netbook. Makes it a lot more convenient. I think this part of the prep is about ready but I still have to check downloading pics from the camera.
I downloaded a bunch of podcasts for the MP3 player. The Moth, This American Life, and bunches of RadioLab. If I can't sleep when I'm 6 miles high over the Pacific at least I can be entertained. (Long as the battery lasts anyway.) I picked up a few other things. I wanted a little zipper bag to put some cash in so its not all in my wallet. I found some in the womens handbag section. I had numerous choices all with some sort of glitter, sparkle, or neon color. I finally found a gray one with a black strap. I thought, "I can make this work, all I have to do is cut off the giant "LOL" letters on the side." (They all had either "LOL" or "BFF", or "OMG", etc) Later I realized it had pink stitching. Well what the heck - it's going to be in the bottom of my bag - it's not like anyone will know.
