chronological confusion -- and gathering stuff

Yarghhhh! such derangement! i managed somehow to confuse my departure date with my return date. So, apologies to all who were anticipating photos of me wrestling with bloody-fanged Tassie Devils (or with Tim's veggies) soon after the 5th; you'll have to wait a few more days. It won't be until feb 9th until I am actually flung out into space above the darkening Pacific, chasing the sunset west -- and losing a day -- into feb 11th.

well, i promised to start gathering stuff, so here we go, clockwise from top:



ticket/passport/docs, Aerostich catalog, small dry bag for camera, eye drops, chapstick,
black glove liners with bear totem carved from AK elk antler, mini tripod, Leatherman tool, waterproof spf45 sunblock, small box with power adaptor for motorcycle, tiny pocketknife, eyeglasses cords, box with one of six sets of earplugs for riding motorcycle, red bicycle gloves, headlamp, ipod vehicle charging cord and other electronic connectors.
