Gonna be a bit old skool for a few days.

We're leaving for the Galapogos tomorrow and though it might cause me serious mental anguish, i'm leaving the laptop behind. I've been debating for a few days on this. But the closer was the fact that there's a 30lb limit on luggage once we get to Ecuador, and that ain't much. Not that it'd be in the checked bag, but I'm making use of my carry on to hold things, so the laptop bag isn't suitable. I'm taking my Camel Back backpack, which doesn't hold the mac.

Plus, it's doubtful my sprint card would 1. work, and 2. the minutes from south america probably aren't included in my "unlimited data" plan.

As it is, to get the Mobile Phones to work is 6 bucks a month, and 1.99 a minute, not to mention the data rates, for phones. So I couldn't blog for the most part anyhow.

So the old Skool part is I'll be bringing my journal with me and trying to write down all that we experience, so that it can be digitized when we get home.

I'm homing the Gmail withdrawls aren't so bad and that I can make it. This will be the longest I've been off the grid in... wow.... a really frakkin' long time, 10 years? shiz, this will be tough.
