Eine orange getigerte Katze mit gestreiftem Fell ist im Vordergrund zu sehen, wie sie mit gesenktem Kopf den Boden abschnüffelt. Sie steht teilweise auf grauen Pflastersteinen und teilweise auf sandigem Untergrund. Im Hintergrund befinden sich zwei Wände: links eine vertäfelte Holzwand in Grautönen und rechts eine gelbliche, abgenutzte Holzwand. Auf dem sandigen Boden liegt ein kleiner roter Ring oder Gummiband. Die Szene spielt entlang der Panamericana am Pazifik in Peru.
Eine Nahaufnahme zeigt eine dreifarbige Katze (Felis catus), deren Fell hauptsächlich weiss mit markanten orangefarbenen und schwarzen Flecken ist, insbesondere an den Ohren und auf dem Kopf. Die Katze ruht mit halb geschlossenen Augen und einem entspannten Ausdruck, ihre langen Schnurrhaare sind deutlich sichtbar. Im Hintergrund sind dunkle, vulkanische Felsen zu erkennen, und im unteren Vordergrund liegen einige vertrocknete Blätter oder Pflanzenreste. Das natürliche Sonnenlicht fällt auf die Katze und erzeugt Schatten und helle Bereiche auf ihrem Fell. Das Foto wurde in Puerto de la Cruz, Teneriffa, Kanarische Inseln, aufgenommen.
Das Bild zeigt eine orange getigerte Katze, die auf einem grauen Betonpflaster steht und nach rechts blickt. Die Katze hat ein auffälliges gestreiftes Fell in verschiedenen Orangetönen und weisse Schnurrhaare. Im Hintergrund befindet sich eine verwitterte Holzwand, die grösstenteils gelb oder ockerfarben gestrichen ist und deutliche Abnutzungsspuren aufweist. Links ist ein Teil einer grauen Holztür oder -platte zu sehen. Auf dem Boden, neben den Pfoten der Katze, liegt ein kleiner roter Plastikring und ein Stück Beton. Die Szene vermittelt den Eindruck einer Gasse oder eines Hinterhofs in einer Küstenstadt entlang der Panamericana in Peru.
During the course of my travels (~100k flown miles per year on United), I've learned a few things. Being a technologist and a huge fan of gear, I've had the opportunity to field a variety of different bags, cameras, flashlights, laptops, tablets, e-readers, mp3 players, IEMs, etc. I thought I'd share a few tricks of the trade that have stuck over time and have made my travels simpler.
There are a few themes I follow when I travel - less is more, redundancy is good, lighter is better. If I pack something and don't use it after 3 trips, it comes out. There are a few exceptions to this rule - the most notable being a basic First Aid kit that I keep in my toiletries bag - Edit: per requests sent to me via messages, I will post the contents of the first aid kit in a future post - short version includes safety pins, emergency medications like Advil, Tylenol, Nyquil, Caffeine, Imodium), a small sewing kit, Neosporin, bandaids, a chemlight, small packable towel, etc.

Garmin GPSMap 62s handheld GPS. Mine has a 16gb Sandisk MicroSDHC card loaded with city and topo maps for just about every continent I could possibly end up on. Great for finding directions in a new city both on foot and in-car. I carry this vs a car-mounted GPS because this handheld GPS takes AA batteries (I load mine up with Energizer Lithiums), which can easily be replaced if I'm on foot. Can't say the same for most in-vehicle GPS devices.
SureFire Flashlight - The model varies because I have so many it's absurd, but it's always a 2xCR123 model. This time it's an L4 Lumamax. It's also always the 2nd SureFire I have with me (I carry a SureFire Titan T1A in my pocket everywhere). I always have spare batteries with me as well - usually 2 or 4 of them.
Doorstop - This hasn't seen much use in recent times because I mostly stay in Starwood properties (the W San Francisco for this trip) that at least provide a decent illusion of security, but it doesn't weigh much and I keep it around anyway because I like having it with me. This particular doorstop can be deployed in a variety of ways to keep doors open, keep them closed, etc. If you've ever seen how easily an older-style hotel door chain-lock can be bypassed - same for some keycard locks - you'll understand =]
Recyclable tote bag - This one came from a conference - they fold up nice and flat and don't weigh much and are handy to have for lugging around handouts, souvenirs, and just creating some extra storage if your main pack is full.
Radio - This one is a Yaesu VX-3R 2m Ham radio with a little stubby Maldol antenna. I think it's very handy to have. Cellular networks are among the first things to buckle during a disaster or even when under heavy load at a tech conference - having a radio is very handy.
Watch - Sometimes mechanical, sometimes digital - it really depends on where I'm going and for what purpose. This Suunto Core watch is nice because it has a compass, keeps track of temperature/barometric pressure, etc. Also, it has an alarm, which is really handy until the day comes when I wind up with a mechanical watch with minute repeater from Ulysse Nardin or Audemars Piguet ;]
Phones - iPhone 5 pictured here - I carry 3 phones. 1 work phone and 2 "personal" phones - of the 2 personal phones, one is always an unlocked phone ready to take a SIM that I purchase at my destination. I have AT&T and Verizon as my carriers - if you only have AT&T, you can probably guess why I have two different carriers. I included the phone here because of a specific trick I've been employing for years - I use the camera on my phone to capture quick photos of things I'd otherwise forget during my travels that may be important...like the # of the cab I get into (if I have to ride in a cab) just in case I leave something behind, or a map of my hotel's fire egress route. In the event of an emergency, just about everyone these days will grab their phone, so...
Retractable Cables - I love these. I carry a CAT6, 2x Mini USB and 2x Micro USB - two of them frequently get used with my:
Mini 802.11 AP - This one was a gift from my brother from his last trip to Taiwan, so the menu/firmware is all in Chinese - good thing "SSID" and the other basic things were easy to figure out. A similar American model is available on Amazon. This thing is fantastic - powered via Micro USB and has a WAN IN and LAN out port on it - instant wifi in a hotel room that otherwise only has CAT5E and wants to charge extra for wifi. I always SSH tunnel into my home network before connecting out when on any sort of a public network and use FoxyProxy in Firefox to send my web traffic through my home internet as well.
Location-specific items - I was in San Francisco during this trip and so I had a BART ticket with me as well as a FastTrak (bridge/toll road payment device). You can usually purchase bus passes, train tickets, etc online in advance these days - I like to go prepared whenever possible. The BART tickets ended up being really handy during this trip as I decided to cancel my rental car at the last minute when I figured out that overnight parking at the W hotel in SF is $60/night.
Verizon MiFi - Mine has the huge Mugen Power battery on it. This device is a godsend. I never leave home without it. At some point I had an AT&T 4G device as well, which gave me the redundancy I so badly long for (GSM and CDMA), but I no longer have that. I haven't upgraded to an LTE device because Mugen Power doesn't make a huge battery for the newer MiFis...yet.
Alfa high-power WiFi adapter - Because sometimes - just sometimes - I need to hit a wireless network that's far away and am getting unusable service from my Verizon MiFi. The Alfa gets it done.
Outlets - Another godsend - this one turns a single outlet into 3 + 2 USB. Fantastic in airports, hotel rooms, and just about everywhere else.
I have a few other little things I do that make sense to me but may seem absurd to others: an example would be that I never push out my TripIt/travel status (Aaron is leaving on a trip to _______ for x days) on Facebook, etc. And most of the time, I try to avoid posting my travel photos/details of my whereabouts until I'm nearly home or at home. Maybe it's paranoia, but as a former home burglary victim and a desirable target for all sorts of opportunity criminals, I just can't see a reason why I should make it easier for them by announcing that I plan to be away from my home.
Late last year my local airport implemented TSA's PreCheck, which is a great throwback to travelling pre-9/11. I get to keep my shoes, belt and jacket on and my toiletries and laptop don't need to come out of my bag. The only thing that goes in a bin are my mobile phones. My average time through security (including the "line") has been UNDER 1 MINUTE at the airports I've visited that have PreCheck. I qualified for PreCheck via my enrollment in Global Entry, which is also fantastic as it lets me bypass the lines to re-enter the US at customs.

Interesting vehicles in the Warrington fleet are a batch of Enviro 200 MMCs with the rear two rows of seats replaced with a lounge area!!
Branded the Cheshire Cat for services CAT5, 5A and CAT6, the 5/A offer a direct bus broadly every 30 minutes between Warrington, Lymm and Altrincham with the 6 offering a third bus an hour out of Warrington as far as Grappenhall.
208 enters Wilderspool Causeway in Warrington with the first 5A of the morning which would set off an hour and three quarters earlier from Altrincham!!
With the Unilever factory in the background, 206 purrs away from Bank Quay Station in the early morning sunshine, with a Cat6 to Grappenhall, East View. Part of a batch of 13 new MMCs, 8 carry this branding and 5 carry a red fronted version and new Warrington Owns Buses branding
Eine schwarze Katze liegt friedlich schlafend auf einem Teppich aus hellbraunen, getrockneten Blättern und einigen bunten Blütenblättern (rosa, weiss) im Freien. Die Katze ist von der Seite zu sehen, ihr Körper ist langgestreckt und entspannt. Sonnenlicht fällt auf ihr glänzendes, dunkles Fell, wodurch einige braune Reflexe sichtbar werden. Im Hintergrund sind unscharfe grüne Blätter einer Pflanze, möglicherweise einer Aloe Vera, zu erkennen. Die Szene strahlt Ruhe und Wärme aus, typisch für einen sonnigen Tag in Puerto de la Cruz, Teneriffa.

Image shows Officer Cadets from Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS) waiting to charge mock protesters on Public Order training as part of Exercise Templer's Triumph on Longmoor Training Area.
Exercise Templer's Triumph is the second of three accumulative confirmation exercises of the 44 week commissioning course; it tests the cadets suitability to become junior officers in the field army. The skills and drills the Officer Cadets have learned over the previous terms are brought together, forcing the cadets to work in an arduous environment whislt thinking about more than just basic soldiering.
