I've already posted concerning this trip, and from help here and other blogs, I have compiled a gear list I think will work. Tell me what you think.

Bodies and Lenses
40D
24-70mm f/2.8L
300mm f/2.8L IS [rented]

Accessories
Extender EF 1.4x II [rented]
Monopod
Gorillapod
CF Cards (4GB, 2GB, 1 GB)
Polarizing Filter for 24-70mm
UV Filters for all
Cleaning Supplies

Bags
Dakine Sequence (Big One)
Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home (Day Bag)
Dry Bag

I'm not willing to rent more stuff, but if their is a crucial flaw in the stuff I am renting, tell me. I'm open to any praise or criticism. All of it is more than appreciated.

Looks good but I would maybe want something a little wider on a crop.

A wide lens would be nice, but it's easy enough to take two shots and stich them together.
