Preparations for the trip

Our departure date is rapidly approaching! We all fly out at 6 am on Saturday, April 8th from LAX. The first challenge will be to simply get to the plane on time. Carpooling seems to be the most popular method to keep each other in check but does anyone want to place a bet on who doesn't make it?

Speaking of not making it, we have unfortunately lost a team member due to work commitments. We will miss you Raena! We tried to fill her slot but on such short notice, and due to rigid airline rules, that was not possible.

I think I have everything needed...sleeping bag (thanks Sophia!), Therma-Rest pad (thanks Tanya!), workboots, grubby clothes, work gloves, eye protection, respirator mask, DEET, sunscreen, hat, camera... what am I forgetting?
