Walter, you are right! I was planning to bring only one book. I’ll be busy working and if not, busy shopping, watching Cirque shows, etc. ha.

I recently picked up this amazing book – a biography of Nikola Tesla. I shall blog about it later.

There were times that I managed to finish 4 books at a holiday – it was a beach resort and it happened to be monsoon season and rained throughout my holiday, so I did nothing but eat, sleep, read books.

Honestly, if you are travelling to Las Vegas for work purposes, it may not be such a great idea to bring a serious business oriented tome there. Perhaps something more lighthearted yet absorbing would be good. Lately, I have been reading more psychological and life motivational stuff and less of marketing and 2.0-ish materials.

I am worried that Vegas & SF are gonna be really cold.

Not sure where I am staying at yet. The good folks at the US office is arranging for me.

Tell me about it! 16 hrs’ x 2 flights – not funny. When are we going to eventually have dinner? :)

I was there on a road-trip when I was based in the U.S. Still enamoured by the bright glizzy lights and the multiple-themed hotels. Which hotel are you staying at?

Be nice to your bum and stretch your knees during the 16 x 2 hrs flight. Godspeed!

I am quite dependent on my iPods. I’m not that addicted to Blackberry YET but with more traveling now, it might just be a “must-bring-along” item soon!

Come to think of it, I should start investing in some sort of ebook reader. It might be easier to bring that than 5 books!

This mostly applies to waiting in line, where the addiction comes in the form taking out your iPod, Blackberry, and what not simply to make sure that you are using the time personally and productively.
