By popular request, here's the lowdown on my shoe situation.
I took the advice of those of you I consulted with prior to the trip and decided to 1) left my beloved Sauconeys at home and 2) sucked it up and bought a pair of Tevas. So, I ended up taking 3 pairs of shoes along for the ride - my hiking shoes, Tevas, and a pair of flip flops. The Tevas have proved invaluable for navigating through wet canyons and swimming on rocky beaches. And as much as I wish I could slip into my cloud-like Sauconeys after a long day of pounding the pavement, I would definitely not have had enough room for them.
As for other travel gear, here's our initial thoughts:
3 ipods and travel speakers - the speakers are worth their weight in gold, but I think we could have gotten by with just one ipod (Gil may disagree with that one...)
Laptop - didn't bring one, but often wish we did. Free wireless has been everywhere, and it would have made blogging much easier.
3 swimsuits - definitely overkill.
Packing cubes - one of the best investments we ever made.
