travel preparation continues

Banal bits of travel-related trivia, for anyone who might be interested.

• It's impossible to find a pair of Tevas in Austin, TX, in size 9.
• Sarongs are incredibly versatile, and can act as skirts, blankets, towels, hair wraps, and so forth.
• International plug adaptors are incredibly hard to find anywhere except an airport.
• I have a lot to do before I leave, and very little time to do it all.
• The Hungarian name for Targu Mures, which is C's hometown in Romania, is "Marosvasarhely." She tried to explain to me how to pronounce it, but I will never remember. There's no picking up Hungarian.
• There are geocaches and geodashes in several of the cities I'm headed to. I need to program the coordinates into my GPS and remember not to forget it.
• I managed to install Movable Type successfully on a new domain name, which I plan to use to upload pictures and travel logs during my trip. It just now occurs to me that I can probably rig up some pinging silliness so that I can publish excerpts on this weblog, as well. Even more to do in so little time.

I'm sure there's more, but this is all I can remember for now. So so excited!
