I'm very excited because I bought my first real item for the trip, a backpack! A lot of thought went into the choice, and I'm very pleased with the outcome. (Although I have yet to heft 50 pounds up a mountain in it). It's an Arc'teryx Bora 80L Backpack, the one recommended by Kroka Expeditions for the trip, that I managed to find for a reasonable price on eBay. It is amazing just thinking that this is going to come with me all the way to Ecuador. Hiking in the rainforest, climbing in the highlands... this will be on my back the whole time!

THIS IS SO AWESOME! I love it! Plus, it's blue.
