Technology keeps marching on. I just bought this new gadget (used and cheap, of course, instead of new and expensive) for my trip to
I was researching chemical water purifiers (iodine and chlorine—yum!) and saw that this SteriPEN portable water purifier kept popping up on discussion boards. The idea is that you stick this thing into a bottle or glass of water, and then it zaps all the amoebas, viruses, and bacteria with ultraviolet rays for about 90 seconds, rendering their DNA useless so they’re unable to replicate. And if they can’t replicate, they can’t make you sick! Cool!

It is really cool, and I'm sure it will be a huge help on your trip - but I keep thinking that drinking dead amoebas and viruses and bacterias doesn't sound all that appealing! ;)
There's a reason you're the world traverer and I'm the stay-at-home stick-in-the-mud.
I hope it works well. Have a wonderful trip. I look forward to hearing about it.
that's awesome Heidi! i wouldn't mind using that on our nasty tap water here!
That'll be a perfect fit in your backpack!
You're going to India?! How fun! The water purifier looks awesome... just remember: if the water is still brown, probably isn't the best :) Love you!
