Equipment Considerations

Now that we are less than one week from departing, we are collecting together all the equipment we need to packup for the trip. Eventhough space is a premium in the Corvette, there are still several critical things we need to bring to be able to support documenting and blogging all along the way for the trip.

Electronic Items that we are bringing along include:

• Canon EOS Digital Rebel 300D 6.3M Pixels SLR Digital Camera with BG-E1 battery grip, SpeedLite 550EX flash, EFS 18-55mm zoom lens, EF 24mm wide-angle lens, EF 50mm portrait lens, EF 75-300mm telephoto zoom lens, dual Li-Ion rechargable batteries, battery charger and Tamrac Camera bag to carry everything.
