They are so light weight that you might not need to take the legs off. <BR/><BR/>Emily, I put you down for a pair of binoculars just in case you don't get any.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16156870043664470522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254354758838109332.post-90091434837046291942008-01-14T00:42:00.000-06:002008-01-14T00:42:00.000-06:00Stanta did not bring me a pair of binoculars for C...Stanta did not bring me a pair of binoculars for Christmas but he brought a lot of other goodies, so I will let you know in the next few days if I am planning on buying my own or if I need to check some out. <BR/><BR/>Kathleen, when should I stop buy your office? During interim I am on campus Tues-Thurs running participants for research. I am there usually noon to 3 or 5 pm.<BR/><BR/>As far as zip-off pants, I am in the process of trying to modify nursing scrub pants to perform the same function. Scrub pants can be found at Wal-Mart for $12. I am trying to make them so I can just roll them up and button them. I will let you know how that turns out.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12330068925858838286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254354758838109332.post-64034078208074814712008-01-12T16:13:00.000-06:002008-01-12T16:13:00.000-06:00I also have my own set of binoculars... and I was ...I also have my own set of binoculars... and I was already planning on buying a compass since I will most likely use it for future adventures. I think my brother has a set of walkie-talkies that he may lend me (if I ask very nicely!) otherwise, I will check them out.<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine suggested getting suitcases at one of the many thrift stores around Oshkosh... especially if we plan on leaving them down there.<BR/><BR/>What else would make us 'prepared'? <BR/><BR/>Also, Dawn had a great idea (Craig, you may want to talk with her about this!). She suggested that we do Craig's lesson plan, but have the kids make us a picture book of Belize that we could bring back with us... sort of an exchange... WI kids would make them a book and they would make us one. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise, if you're still looking for zippy-pants... stores I've been to have been saying they'll be in and stocked at the end of Feb. Otherwise, if you're comfortable with ordering on-line, you can always find great deals... but there's no guarantee they'll fit.Christa J.

The best place to get this suitcase is your parent's or grandparent's attic. Many students just leave it in Belize.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16156870043664470522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254354758838109332.post-87078592212463185522008-01-11T20:38:00.000-06:002008-01-11T20:38:00.000-06:00My dad has a pair of binoculars, so would be be ab...My dad has a pair of binoculars, so would be be able to share them between the two of us? <BR/>Also, I'm sure we either have a compass or can purchase one before the trip.Nicole Springstrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202922254146996212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1254354758838109332.post-21611071667637193832008-01-11T20:15:00.000-06:002008-01-11T20:15:00.000-06:00I have my own set of binoculars and I will purchas...I have my own set of binoculars and I will purchase a compass. It is something I should already have for backpacking. I can also get a walkie talkie. <BR/><BR/>We may need to save a little bit of room in our suitcases for school supplies to leave with the students and teachers we work with. I am organizing a school supply drive at my elementary school and the results should be good! My next step is to compile a list of supplies and then I will set a date for the drive.Craig Siglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14969208195996350880noreply@blogger.com
