Four Weeks Out

I’m four weeks out from my Thailand trip.  I’m still waiting on my passport that was to have only taken three to five weeks to receive.  It’s been four.  Also, I’m beginning to really consider the equipment I want to bring along and so far, I’ve definitely decided on the Canon 7d.  The ability of this camera to bring in light is astounding.  I’m bringing several different lens’ with me but I’m going to rent a wide angle lens as I do not have one in my bag at this time.  Which reminds me that I’m also in the market for a good camera bag.  One that fits International flight regulation overhead compartment bins (which may be smaller?).  So I don’t have to fear it being checked and manhandled in the process.  I’m also making my final accommodations decisions.  And am fighting off nerves.  Nerves…where do I pack those?
