I'm not asking

...but some people have offered. I'm actually feeling kind of sheepish, since a lot of people have expressed a desire to help me with this trip.

I don't need to buy many things for this trip, but there are a few things I could use. I've added a secure donate button to the side bar, and given my apple ID ( belladonna@canby.com ) in case someone wants to give me a little iTunes credit. New music is always good on a long trip.
