We’ve been here about two weeks and already there are some items we brought which have become invaluable and others which, so far, are just extra dead weight. For example, most of the books we brought are still in the “book suitcase.” The hair dryer or extension cord? Haven’t used ‘em yet. But the ethernet cable I thought to bring saved my sanity for a few days.
Initially under-appreciated, the PSP has perhaps become our most valuable gadget in the bag. I’ve ripped copies of the Curious George movie, Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh onto it. It’s turned out to be the perfect way to keep Maeli entertained at home or on the street. If you travel internationally with a 2 year old, don’t leave home without it.
