The Ipod - what a remarkable invention!! In this thin, 1.5" x 3" marvel of technology I have what amounts to all the entertainment and literary material I could ever need for my month long sojourn. Just think - the contents of my iTouch includes: thousands of songs, TV shows (e.g., 4 seasons of "The Office"), my address book, a world clock (so I can see Kabul and DC time simultaneously), an audio book - "The Audacity of Hope", The Bible (both audio and text), photos - so i don't forget what the family looks like - and silly games to wile the hours away. In addition, when I am in a Wi-Fi area I am fully connected to the Internet and the applications usage is doubled. Did I say thanks Mr. Jobs and Apple?
When the weight and size of your gear are vital to travel in this environment, having all these at your disposal in such a small tool is a Godsend. Thanks to my tech savvy son who introduced me to the technology and helped load the 3000 plus songs, the TV shows, and other fun applications, I am able to get through the day with this little 21st century model of ingenuity.
By the way, because I am still old school, I did bring 3 novels along. Turning actual pages, kinda makes reading feel real...
Still raining and in the 50's....

I wonder because you're not able to do what you there to do, does that mean you will have to stay longer or cut somethings out? I pray that you'll be able to accomplish at least on mission by the end of the week.
