My Movable Office in 2 Bags
So I am leaving for Costa Rica in less than 12 hours. Very excited. It’s in the teens here and in less than 24 hours I will be in high 80 degree weather. I wanted to show everyone out there what exactly I am bringing with me and what my movable office consists of. Now for this trip my movable office is quite a bit larger than usual but that is for obvious reasons. My usual stint is only a few days away from my home office. This is 3 weeks. OK, onto my things.
