It's a measure of our electronic age that the very first things that came to mind were the computers (all but one are notebooks and very portable), followed by our ipods. Next was camping equipment and food (for ourselves and the dogs), third was a selection of irreplaceable photos and genealogy information, and only then did I think that it would be good to have important papers, like our passports and my son's adoption and citizenship certificates. Then, if there was room, I'd include a few of our favorite books. I may need to reexamine my priorities.
Unfortunately, Bill's cousin who lives in New Orleans had to make these choices for real on Saturday. We know she is safe with her in-laws, but don't have any more details.
