Got to love those portable GPS's! I got one, and I plug it into the laptop, with Microsoft Streets & Trips 2005, you see where you are, you never get lost! :]
I want one of those... Ugh oh.. What if the battery runs out when you are in the middle of nowhere...
*Anyways* I hope you had fun meeting Patchou! Did he teach you anything VALUABLE lol..
That's why I am equipped, I have a special 12V to 120V converter in a car, so, when the battrey is near done, I have another two hours in Laptop's battery. :]

Yes but what if that runs out.. Anway my point is, is that you should use a map cause it doesn't run out.. Unless someone burns it of course.. But if you are in the middle of no where thats almost imposible..
Maybe you can get one of those car chargers..
..
*BACK TO POINT*
which is better Disney Land OR Disney World..
Because Land in real life is smaller then the whole world.. so i would think that also applies to this..

Vexx! Thank god I'm not the only one who enjoy's camping with a laptop!
I've got a special deep cycle car battery for just that occasion, I take my iBook camping with me. Use the deep cycle battery and an inverter (12v to 110v) to charge it when the battery runs dead. It rocks. Take some DVD's, A nice apache/php/mysql setup, lots of music, some really good food and some firewood and your in HEAVEN!
There is nothing like being out under the stars far from the hussle and bussle of a big city.
