1. Nalgenes (2)- The uses for Nalgenes in a country where you can't drink the water are severely limited. Oh, maybe I will buy water and pour it from its container into this bestickered plastic container! At least they pack well! Send gin.
2. Slippers- I doubt I much need to elaborate on how LL Bean Shearling Slippers (a product I wholeheartedly endorse, by the way) function in the tropics.
3. The Doors Books- Actually these currently reside (finished on the plane) where they belong, metaphysically: LA. Apparently Jim Morrison was an alcoholic.
4. 'Ada or Ardor', V. Nabokov- Indonesia has very strict anti-pornography laws, and as one Serena Keith can attest, has been known to take a firm line, seriously under valuing the artistic merits of perfect prose, against covers with naked females. In this case I managed to beat the rap, especially thankfully with Ada that most customs officials don't read much Nabokov. I might have been deported on the spot. 'Howl' has yet to see the light of day.

Matt, Glad to hear you've landed safely -- will await further instructions as to how best to ship the gin.
