Shopping - Not the Fun Kind

Well I am off to the 'CAMPING' and hiking shop tomorrow after work.  Anaconda.  I need to make some practical purchases - like a wet / all weather jacket that I will actually use.  Mainly in Mongolia, China, South America and Antarctica.  I've always bought the cheapy versions from KMart on the off chance I may use it.  I have a feeling that it will be an essential artical of clothing.  Also on the list is thermal underwear which I have never owned but also apparently highly recommended for the cooler parts of the trip.  That will be a good look on my Contiki tours ba ha ha ha ha ha..... Other purchases needed and hopefully I can purchase while at the CAMPING shop include a Swiss Army knife and also a good pair of walking shoes.... Oh yeah I'm shopping - but not the fun kind - like going food shopping.  I might head to Mt O after and buy something fun for the Contiki side of the trip......
