   I should have brought the Treo 650 or 680 with the TomTom bluetooth GPS - getting around Atlanta can be a challenge… I can be helped!

   LOL…I just left Atlanta last week! It would be easier to get around there if every third street wasn’t named Peachtree!

   Kerry, it’s all about cable management! If you can get your chargers under control, you will be good. Time for Judie to do some reviews of power management systems!!

   Hi Judie,
   Normally I use slimmer bags, however since this was a car trip of four hours, and a extended stay, I used the Swiss Army Synergy Bag http://tinyurl.com/yurnjk. I normally would not pack a FreeAgent 500 GB external drive, or the Altec Lansing inMotion iPod player. Probably could have passed on carrying the second phone pictured - the Blackjack.

   I rotate between four different bags just like my wife who changes purses… wait what did I just say?

   Bill, you are absolutely spot on with the cable management!

   I just found out that I will be issued a wireless card, laptop (not a Mac) but maybe a tablet and a Blackberry for my new job at a very large telecommunications company. Another set of gear from 8 to 5!

   You need help I’ve found that managing the chargers is one of the most crucial pieces. I try to have cables that will charge most things off the usb port of my laptop which cut’s down on the items quite a bit, but I also only bring my laptop, phone, ipod and Iliad with me. Hoping to combine phone and ipod once the iphone does wireless exchange syncing.

   In regards to Atlanta, I live here, and it’s actually every second street named Peachtree

    Hey Kerry,

    I’ll be taking a whole bunch of stuff like this on vacation in a few weeks. Luckily I have a great new bag to put it all in, but as Judie’s getting one too, I’ll let her fill you in on all the details!

    I think that if you can get the cables down that you have conquered half the battle. Nowadays, there’s a lot of adapters that will allow you to plug any USB device onto the wall. I have found that it solves a lot of my charging cables problems and have lightened my load. Of course, I’m not a road warrior.

   [...] I enjoyed reading this editorial over at The Gear Diary entitled Road Warrior’s Dilemma I enjoyed reading this editorial over at The Gear Diary entitled Road Warrior’s Dilemma and believe me I know exactly how Kerry feels. “Whenever I travel, I struggle with carrying far too many clothes. I have yet to crack the code for carry on luggage. I remember on one trip my roommate packed one jacket, a pair of pants and two shirts to last five days. There’s no way I could go for that – I need to have a change of outfits at a 1.5 ratio per day” Read in full, interesting editorial I enjoyed reading this. [...]
