    I like the Kindle fire for about $200. It is backlit and doesn't require external lighting for reading. Great color also. There's also the Nook from Barnes and Noble but I have no experience with it.

    so I followed the list, was able to put everything into 1 bag including the sleeping bag, I have 1 large bag (Vietnam Military style) 1 shower bag (gym bag) with shaving kit etc, and my briefcase with my laptop. Is that still too much? I really Appreciate this list. Thank you.

    Try not to take more than two bags and you'll be fine Dean. I like a backpack as a shower bag, and a sleeping bag is probably more practical (but I like my Korean mink blanket with the girly winged unicorn, Bed Bath & Beyond ultra soft matchy-matchy pillows, and matching fleece sheets! Yes I know, I'm such a girl! Wait until you see the Barbie doll pink truck I'm gonna get!), take 5 days worth of clothes, some food staples that don't have to be refridgerated, and your favorite plushy to snuggle with since your significant other can't come with you. Yes, a 29 year old woman sleeps with a toy Clydesdale, and the world will get over it. ~Smirk~

    Your sleeping bag doesn't count as a bag. So yes, carry it on. Just remember that you and your trainer will be sharing a very small living space, so try to be curteous. Also, remember to help keep that space clean. You'll do fine, just take a practical approach at first and dress your truck to your liking later.

    Well, I am a 46 year old woman and I only stopped sleeping with a teddy bear AND a stuffed Pegasus when my live cats decided to squeeze the stuffed animals out of my bed so it has only been 2 years since I stopped sleeping with stuffed animals because I had gained enough live furred animals that they no longer appreciated my trying to squeeze them out of the bed with the stuffed animals LOL.
     
    TnVols Trucking Thanks this.

    Nice! I have a Sphynx cat, and am making payments on another. If you see a pink Cascadia pulling a C.R. England trailer with bald kitties in it, cone say hi! I'm only a few months away from leasing that beauty.

    I hate to say this, but I would only happen to see you if you were traveling in the Little Rock, Arkansas area around the I-30, I-430, I-630 or I-440 area with the greatest chance of my seeing you even when you are in that area being on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday since I tend to leave the car parked the rest of the days of the week. My husband, on the other hand, would have a much better chance of seeing you in other areas. However, if you PMed me if you were going to be in the area, we could see about meeting up. I only extend that invitation to females since I am female but might, in the future, extend that invitation to males that I have become familiar enough with to be sure that everything would remain public.
