    I definitely need to figure this out. I grow a cannabis garden specifically so that I can breed genetics and grow seeds here in Oregon. Which means it's very hard to get away. But I just realized this week that in the last 10 years I've only had four days off because I have to be in the garden pretty much every day. Well I love my work and it is a passion I just realized that is not enough vacation time holy cow!

    Here are some items I use that weren’t on your list. A small tablet for entertainment 8~10 inches. I bring my own wired earbuds with decent noise isolation they work with the tablet an in flight entertainment system. Several moderately priced earbuds have a seal that work as well or better than common earplugs and doesn’t drain my batteries. Pocket tissues (dry air irritates my sinuses). Hard candy or throat drops (the dry air irritates my throat), gum. Water bottle. “hygiene” wipes because airplane TP sucks. Hand sanitizer. A buff (can be used as an eye mask, headband, neck warmer, beanie, etc..), mini flashlight, spare flashlight battery, lighter. Compression socks. Slip-on shoes or athletic shoes with elastic laces making them slip-on. prescription glasses & case. Today’s dose of vitamins & meds, I take them with food so it helps to have them handy when get bite at the airport or when I eat my protein snack. Tweezers and nail clippers. When I don’t bring them I wind up needing them. A couple doses of Benedryl and some ant-acid, just in case.

    • @averagegirldoescoolthings
      @averagegirldoescoolthings 3 місяці тому

      1063 at most recent census, up from 242 in 1981, thanks to people coming to visit the gorillas! Gorilla tourism is actually a success story - because people pay to come see gorillas, the governments have taken steps to protect them from poachers and to expand their habitats after so much has been lost to farming. Permits are strictly controlled - less than 100 people are allowed to visit gorillas a day in Rwanda, at a cost of $1500 per person. The money goes into conservation and the local communities. Highly recommend visiting gorillafund.org to learn more!
