re: #81 William Lewis
I always preferred a backpack, largish but not seriously large, for travel in Asia. OTOH, I was only 38 when last there in 2002 for the adoption. Have you considered a iPad instead of a full size computer?
I did. Picked up a tablet with detachable keyboard and left my Lenovo laptop back home. The tablet has HDMI output and some of places I stayed had HDMI-capable TVs.
But, editing a book with a tablet is no fun. That’s what I did last winter in Vietnam. I was glad my Airbnb in Danang had a modern TV I could connect to.
