  You ARE a Dynamic Duo!
  
  How EXHILARATING to bring all your "on-hand necessities" to THIS!
  
  For someone like me - ; ^ ) - this is utterly AMAZING!

  There's so much I want to say about 5:50, but I'll keep it family-friendly. You guys crack me up. And I miss you already.

  LIke I said before... if you need any of the personal items restocked over the course of the trip, I am here for you! We need to keep the sexy time, sexy time not baby time:) And again, safe travels and I will miss you! Can't wait to come visit in December :) :)

  This is definitely a no baby zone. Love them, but not carrying it in a backpack too.

  Wow, what a difference four decades makes! Your equipment/supplies are truly awesome (and foresightful, which was my deficiency when I headed thoughtlessly to Guat and the rest of Central America in 1968). Hope to see you here in PV in March, and Costa Rica in November. Buen vuelo mañana!

  Ya, the only thing better than foresight is hindsight...I wonder which of these things we will use the most/least. Of course after picking up my backpack (it's heavy) I'm wishing we had a little less foresight :)

  By the way, if you ever regret your "what movie would you take to a desert island" pick, just let me know which of your DVDs you want mailed to you. We could even figure out some sort of rotating system, like Netflix... RachFlix?
