Preparing for a trip to me includes one step: booking the flight ticket. Really, that is all preparation I do. I don't even book hotels in advance, I arrive and just start wandering around looking for a hotel.

When on holiday, I tend to for a short period of time NOT spend a lot of time on computers, since I do that already so often during non-holidays periods. So taking anything with me to connect to the web, I don't see the point. In normal days, people know how to reach me. On holiday; the purpose is not to be reached and to just forget about the daily life and relax.

If I however do need to send an urgent email that cannot wait, then I'll either use the hotel terminal or a local internet cafe. Since I try to limit this type of situations as much as I can, a public PC will do just fine. It's not occuring often enough to take my laptop with me.

The only "technical equipment" I carry with me is my photo camera and sometimes my iPod player if I expect a long flight.
