I'm getting ready to go to Mexico to participate in a Habitat for Humanity "Build 40 homes in 40 days" Lenten house build. I have most everything packed and am checking it twice. I'm taking my digital camera (of course to document EVERYTHING!) and an extra 1GB SD memory card (in case the first acts up). I'm taking my small laptop (the Lenovo Vista bomb). It just weighs less and and takes up less space. We'll be downloading our pictures at night and then burning DVDs or CDs at trips end. I'll have my Palm Pilot for playing music on the plane and contacts and calendar. I've decided not to take my cell phone since it won't work in Mexico and I don't need another thing to keep track of. I would lose my head if not attached.
Along with the above items I'm taking a USB ry card reader (my Lenovo will only take SD or MMC cards), extra battery and charger for my Canon digital camera, a small optical travel mouse and cables to handle most situations (Ethernet & Telephone). Of course we need the Lenovo battery charger.
Low tech items include a flashlight, water bottle, sunglasses, book and umbrella. I use my Ogio Backpack that has plenty of rum for my laptop, and all the other technology stuff. It has my Spanish/English dictionary and my airplane socks (experience travellers know what those are). I love all this fits in a backpack that can easily be stowed in the overhead compartment leaving my feet uncrushed.
I'll let you know when I get back (March 2) what the state of Mexican Technology in the boonies is like!
