Yeah! Good luck on the next leg of your journey! And thanks for keepign up the blog - I am really enjoying living vicariously through you two from the floursecent lights of my office job :-)
Couple questions -- have you used the Steri-Pen purifier, Electric Coil, and Nalgene bottle? And are you backing up your photos? (portable hard drive, ftp site, etc)
Other than that, our packing lists were nearly identical.
The Steri-Pen is an awesome idea. I hate buying tons of plastic bottles of water and it's one way to reduce our impact. With that being said...the pen is better in theory than in practice. We use it about half the time. Sometimes the pen refuses to work for whatever reason. Other times, the water tastes bad, especially at coastal areas so safe or not, it's not really drinkable. The coil we just added b/c we like tea and coffee so much.
In SEA we had our "big" computer that had a Disk Drive to copy our pictures on and sent them home. We changed our computer to a little MSI Wind and we have a couple of flash drives/SD cards. It should be enough space but we will see.
Thanks for keeping up with the blog, we love it when people write us!
P.S. We used your list as reference for ours which might explain a lot of the similarities :-)
