A note about electronics ... 

-       Cell phones/ipods may come on this trip

-       Laptops should remain at home

-       Chaperones will be mindful of any cell phones or ipods getting too tired on this trip - after all, it's their vacation too - and so will carefully wrap any over-used cell phones/ipods in a beautiful pink silk and lovingly set them aside for a rest period as necessary.
