Markers, Directives

One Canadian Dollar = .859 US$

One Canadian Dollar = 8.756 Peso$

Saturday's rates @ The Vancouver Bullion and Currency exchange.
Actually, a tad better than my bank.

OK, Fully funded in the home currencies of my journey.
I've got back up credit cards, but I should hide those.
One of the directives of this trip is to spend cash only!

1. When cash is gone, must come home...



"Stay on target, check those corners"

2. Stop and Smell the roses... and PHOTOGRAPH'em!




A daily chore and update the blog of course.



Sunday, watching football and cleaning and packing my rig.

Bag o'clothes
Camera gear
Laptop
High Def Projector
(SuperBowl & the Olympics on the deck overlooking the Sea Of Cortez)
Expresso machine & grinder
(I know, the grinder is excessive, I could just take ground beans. ;)
Dog food, dish and dog bed
Sleeping bag and goretex shell for outdoor sleeping
rope, spare oil, fully charged back up battery, tire repair kit, spotlight,
36 litres of Fiji water, bag o' books


3. Read books.

Lonely Planet USA, Lonely Planet Baja,

Hunter: The Strange & Savage Life of Hunter S. Thompson
by E. Jean Carrol
I'm fairly certain this one doesn't include the shotgun ending.

The Zen of Living & Dying by Philip Kapleau

The Craft of Modular Post and Beam by James Mitchell
This should help me with my designs for my new loft studio. :)

PADI open water diver manual
You forget everything if you don't use it. Time to brush up.

On Equilibrium by John Raulston Saul
I've taken this book to Cancun 3 times and have only read two thirds of it.
Smart,deep but hard reading for my short attention span.

OK, trucks loaded. Full tank o' gas.

1 Litre 87 octane = 87.4 cents Canadian

Ready, Set, Go. :)
