Alc 2009

[Duck on Wheels]

Wheeled suitcase. Duffels are not such a big thing here. May find one, but likely not. Could buy one in the US, but will already have biiiig wheeled suitcase + bike case with me, so how would I get all that home again? As for street clothes for 3 days in LA + train home, I can put them into the bike case, which goes on a separate gear truck and doesn't get unloaded until after closing ceremonies. That way Mom doesn't have to carry them. UK can do the same with spare clothes for 1 less day in LA + flight home. We can just put them in bags in there so they stay clean. For camp I'll have sweat pants, undies, my 3 ALC t-shirts (rider shirt, volunteer shirt from 07, gift shirt from my grad students/sponsors) and a sweatshirt or my lightweight Ibex jacket, tennies, pair o' sox, big t-shirt for nightshirt (can buy some ALC souvenir jammie pants if it's too cold for just a sleep t). I figure I can wear the same t-shirt several days since it'll only be for the brief time between dinner/shower and bed. So I'm whittling down my pack list and it looks like it'll fit. And yes, I'll mark the bag with something big and bright. Here's a thought: Maybe we could each tie one of the flamingoes on our respective suitcases, then move them over to the tent for the night, then back onto the suitcase handles for the ride to next gear pickup site?
