That's FANTASTIC! That makes the BIG concern a non issue. EXCEPT, always make sure you have a reserve back-up of water. Don't count on water being where you expect it, until you are actually there, drinking it!

With the water issue resolved, you can concentrate on packing some good foods. Calorie count is a must, but good taste is an absolute. There's too many options out there to survive on marginal food!!!
