Ecuador Trip Planning

There is just about a week before I leave, and I think I am in pretty good shape with my plans. Weather looks to have some rain pretty much wherever we go, and we will be from sea level to 9,200 feet, so there will be a lot of temperature variation and clothing covers all possibilities. Just went to the chiropractor, also got prescriptions filled and bought Peet's coffee for the trip. Ecuador uses dollars as its official currency, so that's nice. Electrical plugs are the same as US - also very nice.

As always, I have fretted over what equipment to bring along on a trip. It seems like I always rethink what to bring along. I am now back to using the larger camera, with a waterproof point-and shoot as a backup and for underwater pics. New 7" tablet computer is a lot lighter than what I had used before. The tablet does have a few limitations, but I can work with them (I hope). This time, I will try something new and 'geo tag" photos with exact GPS coordinates using a little Sony device. That should help me keep track of where I took them. Charging batteries today for all this stuff.
