Arriving early was the usual ways of Adam. Especially when it was something completely new like this. He'd never been on a ship that was anything this large before. It looked like a floating city. Before they were able to board he sat with everyone else while his nerves were on end. This always happened before something big was about to occur. Or at least big in his mind. Traveling was not a common thing for him to do. But on rare occasion he would get adventurous and plan a trip. Such was the case now. 

To ease his nerves he pulled out his phone and began browsing the web. He needed to occupy his mind until he was at the point of no return. Namely, on a moving ship. At his feet was a dufle bag with his clothes with a couple other items mixed in and an average backpack that held his laptop and electronics along with some more random objects such as an old fabric belt, an empty plastic cylindrical container, paper, pens,, and other odds and ends. The extra things were objects he learned to bring along from camping and going to conventions. It never failed when he'd leave something behind and later wish he'd brought it. 

(And yes, I do pack this way)
