In reply to Heni. Am with you. The iPhone Kindle app is where we are keeping most of our books these days.

Great list! I don’t carry a kindle, amazon has a phone app for that, and it does the job well.

@Sandra: Great to hear from you! Kindles (electronic books) and headphone splitters…check. Good ideas to carry, for sanity and a little separation from the always-on of website and social media management. Glad to hear that all this strikes you as perfectly normal…or at least perfectly reasonable 🙂

Having watched your work almost since the beginning and seeing the changes in style and equipment, plus the constant work on your website, and all the various social sites you post on, I’m not the least surprised at the amount of equipment you’re carrying around with you. I work on photos and my website on a large PC, and there are days I’m pushing it’s limits. Having two laptops seems necessary to me with all you do, plus being able to stay in contact with family. Those laptops are get quite a workout! We haul quite a bit of equipment on our trips, which are much shorter and not so far as yours, so we can take photos, process them, let family know what we’re seeing, plus a few items just to keep us calm and sane (kindles, headphone splitter, etc). Your “office” looks perfectly normal to me.

@Mark: Thanks for your comment. So true. Stuff always takes its toll. I suppose that’s why some philosophies and religions attempt to de-emphasize it (with varying results).

Sorry to hear that your backpacks and mini-dvd player were snatched on your last day in Costa Rica. In the grand scheme of Central America, that’s not so bad. Some other traveler friends (whom we met in Nicaragua) did not fare so well:

Safe travels.

I can so relate when you talk about the emotional stress of what to bring on an excursion and what to leave behind (safely?). One tries not to give up an experience for the sake of ‘stuff’ but it does take its toll. Our only theft experience was not really so bad: our backpacks were snatch on our second to last day in Costa Rica. The only technology we had was a mini-dvd player. Biggest downside was no change of clothes for the trip home. Ah, well.

Nice interactive photo there. Do you have one of the rest of your stuff (clothing, coats, shoes, accessories, bags?) I’d also be interested in seeing that.

@Deborah: Congrats on your new Panasonic Lumix camera! Glad my email last night was helpful! @Boz: We have some information about the rest of our gear here, but it's not very comprehensive or interesting. We'll be putting together a more interactive visual about our clothing and other gear soon.

Thanks for the advice! I ordered my Panasonic Lumix last night. 🙂
