Getting Antsy

Hooray, for some reason i have taken it upon myself to go on a crazy spending spree and I have finally purchased a bunch of equipment for the trip. As Nithin has stated, the most important and exciting purchase for this trip is the backpack and I finally decided to go ahead and snatch one up... However due to unforeseen circumstances it actually got 2.

This morning I figure I'd make the purchase at Altrec.com for a 230ish (about $30 0ff suggested retail price) . Then 4 hours later I started looking at prices of other items that I will need for the trip. By luck I made my way over to a site I've been to a few times before called moosehead.com. Once I got there I found that they are having a 20% off 1 item sale (until monday 4/10) and I decided to check it out. It turns out that through mooshead.com I got the backpack at 207 and I even got it in the color that I wanted. So here it is the Osprey M80:

Anyway, it seems that Altrec.com was super on the ball and already sent out the first pack. Thus now I have to refuse their UPS shipment so that they will refund my money. I would have just gotten a price match with them but I figure the blue version is much better than the black version and it would have only save me an extra 4 bucks if i did the price match

Well I'm getting bored of typing this stuff... so here is the rest of the shit that I have purchased so far for the trip.

Backpack - Osprey Way point M80
Unlocked Cell Phone - Motorola (L6) - i wanted a nice small reliable phone.
Swiss Army Knife - Deluxe Tinker -
Digital Camera - Canon SD400 w/ extra battery and 1 gig memory card.
Zen Touch Mp3 Player - 40 gb hd & 24hour battery life.
mini maglite
mini binoculars
space saver bags
a few other small boring things

Things seem to be so close at this point... almost 2 weeks for Mr Ryan and Aaron and less than 2 months for me and Brandle... I'm getting pretty excited here.
