Gadgets and Gear

Shopping for gear is a huge, and exciting, part of this type of trip. In 2008 when I went to Egypt, I used an old (heavy) Dell Inspiron laptop to bring with me for blogging. In 2010 I am kicking it up (or down) a notch and going with this little lightweight bad ass. I love this little machine, blogging from it right now. Great battery life (over 10 hours),and zippy enough for basic needs. I am thinking of getting a new camera, as I still have the same 5 MP Canon I had for Egypt (which takes great pics). My buddy Joe Thomas got this Luminex, which I really like. Waterproof, shockproof, 12 MP, HD Video, Leica lens, and it’s Orange! I will have to see how is South Africa pictures come out. I still have some more gear to get. Probably try to wrap that up this weekend. Good thing I remembered I need to bring my universal plug adapter with me, that I bough for Egypt.
