Karen's been preparing a list of items that I/we will need on the trip. I drove up to Reno yesterday, punched REI's address in the GPS in the S4, arrived there at 6:05 pm. Here is the list:

-Money belt
-A couple of small locks
-travel towel
-mosquito nets?
-bug spray *jungle juice - 2 bottles
-sleeping bags

I found the first sales man I could... we grabbed every item of the shelf, sequentially. I checked out by 6:15pm ... cost $153.00

Thats my kind of shopping.
