Departure eve
I'm leaving tomorrow for my last data collection trip to Ukenzagapia. Woo hoo! I've got my bags packed (to the max, as usual) and my (new-to-me) iphone unlocked. I've redistributed all but the largest plants to friends so that my black-thumbed husband doesn't kill them while I'm gone. I've got a brand new laptop I'm couriering for Dr. K, a new laptop battery for a friend, and about 12 pounds of printed materials that I'm going to unload. On my way through Europe I'm going to buy a ridiculous amount of cheese for my American friend. Oh, and her son really wanted squeeze jam so I'm bringing a bunch of that too. Two friends requested ipods, which I am not bringing. I found a carryon sized wheelie bag at the thrift store which I'm using to carry a microscope and most of my electronics. I hope I don't forget anything too important!

You will love the iPhone! I use mine so much it's almost become another limb! Okay... so perhaps that's not the greatest thing to admit, but I think you'll appreciate everything it can do. Good luck with your fieldwork! Can you believe this is your last trip for data collection?
I am DEFINITELY appreciating my iphone! I love it! I can study Ukenzagapese with flash cards! I can use skype to call people on skype (this is amazing- it's better than doing it on my computer for some reason). I can take photos with it and I can make notes and read pdfs! And email! And even continue my games of Words with Friends! I love it!
