Well it's now down to 2 weeks to ignition and lift-off .
Bound to be something I've forgotten - LOL .
Don't know about the rest of the travelling world but aren't we
just a little bit too reliant on "electricity" !! I just finished the
charge up and check of things electrical and electronical and found --
We have over 20 different types of rechargeable batteries !!
10 for our cameras - 5 for the phones - 6 X AA for the radio - then there's
GPS unit , Laptop , portable HDD for camera card downloading and the 2 Big
Auxiliaries !!
Thank heavens my torches are all magneto wind-ups..
On the road soon so I can chill !!

Good thinking !!
Only thing is I don't know when I'll have Internet access on the way - maybe I should get a prepaid modem from Telstra - Hmmm - a Blog ...

If you get a 240v power pack for the modem, or a USB stick modem, you won't need another battery. :o)

Have a great trip & safe travelling. I dont have some of the things that you have & need charging, but I sometimes wonder what I would do if I still smoked & wanted to light a ciggy!!
Unplug the frig from the ciggy lighter socket? or the GPS? or the tyre monitor? Mobile phone? maybe the portable drink cooler? Heaven forbid, my wifes vibrator? ( It's a
seat vibrator to massage her back, for those of you with your minds below your belly button!)
Ah, nothing like roughing it without mod cons!
Anyway, I no longer smoke, thank goodness, so dont have to make a decision!! LOl. Cheers & happy lift - off
