How could I have ever doubted you? Just two days ago I levelled a serious blow against you, my gray, lightwight love, and through some extension I’m sure, the entire synthetic overwear industry, by claiming that I wished I had never brought you along with me on this Central American trek. Now I must say [...]
Things I wish weren´t in my pack
By Eric | March 7th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
So, it´s been about a month now, and I´ve discovered once again that I brought too much with me, despite thinking ¨Wow, this pack seems so light¨on the first day of our trip. I´ve since changed my tune, and even sent some things back in a box of market purchases that we shipped from Antigua. [...]
Digital and H2O = Is the Solution Worthwhile?

Later this week we’re off to the Cayes of Belize, home to one of the world’s largest barrier reefs and some of the most spectacular underwater scenery anywhere in the world, not the least of which is the spectacular Blue Hole.
Just before the trip, we shelled out big for a new SLR digital camera in [...]
Hanging from the Outside of our Pack - Compass
By Eric | March 4th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
Our world is increasingly dominated by GPS and other satellite technology, but for any adventure, an old-fashioned, functional compass is an essential tool. I hate to admit it, but I’ve only recently discovered this, and the credit rests with my wife who had the forethought to strap a cheap, keychain-sized “analog GPS” to her pack [...]
Inside my Pack: Adventure Footwear
By Eric | February 28th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
As I mentioned in an earlier post about our trek to the base of the Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala. I had an agonizing decision to make before this trip about what sort of footwear to take with me. Now, I´m a bit of a special case with my size 15 - double narrow feet. It´s [...]

Our flight leaves tomorrow for Florida, then it’s on to Cancun, our jumping off point for the great Central American Honeymoon Adventure of 2007. Today was a day for last-minute shopping. So what were the things we almost forgot but couldn’t do with out? I wish somebody would ave posted this list for us [...]
Adventures in Shopping for Adventure
By Eric | January 31st, 2007 | Add a Comment »
Preparing for a trip to Central America when it’s a snowy winter in the Rockies can be a bit frustrating, especially when the only thing you really want in the world is one of those slick little pairs of quick-drying pants that zip off into shorts. Shouldn’t be such a tall order, but in January [...]

Looking for a great supplement to BnA’s own travel gear blog?
