Fitting it all in. Gadgets and Stuff.

Just a quick explanation of the essential items that need to be taken!
Seems a lot really but isn't.

One Nickon coolpix L6 digital camera, this can take movies as well but we don't intend to
take a lot, mostly pictures.

One Sony minidisk recorder including varied mono and stereo and binaural microphones.
Instead of a lot of movies I am hoping to record the sounds of our trip.
Interviews, interesting sounds that we come across, the sound of the children, the sound of Ugandan life, the many sounds of Europe. Also threw in a mini speaker so others can hear all this.

Phone/PDA, one for me (Rex) and one PDA for Liane. This has our bibles(s) on them and
can operate as MP3 players and everything else a PDA can do.
This means chargers and some other misc cables!

One Compaq mini laptop. This is to be our communication hub!. Most contact with home will be via email and this blog. It will also be for storage and processing of photos and sound recordings.
This means another charger!

Some spare SD memory cards, USB memory sticks, batteries for camera and minidisk player. (Have I forgotten any?)

Some of the non-technology gadgets are numerous power adapters, microfiber towels, sleeping mask, money belts, space bags (These are really cool, compress things down to make it easier to fit in the case, unfortunately this doesn't make it lighter!!!!) and some travel books for Europe.

Presents for children, relatives and friends.

Yes we are overweight! (meaning our baggage of course)
