In pushing myself to “pack light, pack light, pack light”… in wanting to ease any worry about leaving my laptop behind in my hotel room while out exploring for the day… and in urging myself to go as “unplugged and off-the-grid” as I can stand, I left my laptop with a friend in Milan and am traveling around the south of Italy with just an iPad.
This is a great experiment for me on many counts, not the least of which is the technical limitations of the device and my ability to interact with the blogging interface. So far, I haven’t figured out how to upload photos from my iPad to the blog, but I may figure that out along the way, during my “spare time” when I’m not out wandering the little back streets or sitting in a trattoria eating spaghetti with sardines.
Rest assured, I’m gathering lots of images and also lots of experiences, meeting people every step of the way. Perhaps after I return to Milan I’ll have a marathon photo upload session and go back to add photos to my Sicilian and Pugliese posts. Stay tuned!
