Hello Wheeled Migrants!
How exciting is it that we've only got one week left before take-off?! (Very is the answer)
Obviously, this adventure we're about to go on will have a lot to do with alternative energy (especially the two-wheeled wonder that is the bicycle!) so it's only fitting that while we are on the journey, we use some alternative energy on the way. First, we've got air conditioning from the wind, but now we'll also be using solar energy to power our phones, mp3 players and other small gadgets...
May I introduce you to "Sunny", my flexible solar panel (specifically the Solarrol 4.5 by Brunton) which can charge a phone in 2-4 hours with nothing but the sun and a cord! Sunny will be traveling with us strapped on my back baskets over my gear. A device such as a cell phone plugs into the panel with a car charger end (there could well be a better name for that), so if you are bringing a phone, find the plug for it that goes into a car's cigarette lighter. Then all you have to do is find me and plug 'er in! (I'll be somewhere in the back of the line, most likely).
Much love!
-Michelle
