Packed up

I finally managed to coax everything I need into the provided bag; it weighs approximately sixty pounds. Thankfully, there is a shoulder strap, or I would be stuck dragging that monster everywhere. Because of airline luggage limits I have to send it ahead via FedEx, or possibly UPS, I'm glad that Class Afloat said they will take care of it until I get there or there might have been some serious problems.

Packing is starting to get serious, the picture is showing almost everything I need to survive aboard the Concordia. Due to space constraints on the ship, everything has to fit into the bag on the left, aside from my computer, a daypack and my bass guitar. Things are starting to get very exciting!
