Just like a kid on Christmas morning...

...how did you know??!!! :)

We picked up a couple of cool new items for this trip. So, now we're hoping for sunny days where one can be used and the other will stay in our packs.

The first is this very cool portable solar charger. The Solio Classic got great reviews, but I'll be doing my own testing on it over the next few days to see what we can expect from it.

The second is a GoreTex waterproof overmitt - great for keeping regular gloves/mitts underneath nice and dry on rainy days. The smallest size (unisex small) were still too big for my hands, but they are a great fit for Mark. Thankfully, I have found an inexpensive alternative to get me through this particular trip, but will be on the look-out for a more durable pair for future use.

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
