For years, my career has required me to use a computer or laptop, so much so that I often have to surgically separate my hands from the keyboard.

As I prepare for my upcoming trip, I debate taking a laptop or one of the new netbooks, especially since I plan to blog. But, since I’m backpacking, I don’t really want to carry any more than necessary. Besides, this is the 21st century and internet cafes and hotels with business centers are readily available most everywhere.

So, I decide to experiment and see how well I manage without carrying my portable digital (as in finger) gym. We shall see. ~
