Mario and Princess Peach

I just changed my alias. When I started geocaching, I logged in with my real name (how boring is that?). Wanting to join in the fun, I changed it to Mario and Princess Peach. My wife likes to play Mario with my son. I'm 42 and have been married 21 years, and this is the first hobby that both of us seem to enjoy equally. So, I let her choose the name. It seems to fit nicely, as Mario was always searching for some hidden prize.

Thanks for anticipating my next question

Thanks!

When I first signed up, I didn't know what I was getting into or how I would use my user name. Now, it seems that it would be more appropriate to have a handle than to use my real name. Is it possible to change my user name on geocaching.com?

On my GPS, I have a route to home button. I accidentally pressed it when I was 800 miles from home at 30K feet. It was kind comical for a minute, but it was so intent on creating the route, I had a hard time canceling it.

I was on American Airlines recently on a trip that put me on 4 different AA planes. I periodically checked GPS on my iQue M5, which is also my PDA and MP3 player. On the last flight, a flight attendant spotted me and asked what it was. "A GPS" I told her. She said, "You'll have to turn it off." I replied, this one only receives - It cannot transmit anything." The logic of this was of no interest to her. She stated that GPS's are listed in the Inflight Magazine as banned on flights. Of course, I promptly apologized and let her know I would turn it off. In retrospect (and trying to find some logic in it), I suppose that there is a slight terrorist rocket attack risk that could be supported with GPS coordinates, but I don't have a good understanding of such things.

Pretty cool. Can't moose be dangerous? I've started taking a little pocket camera with me for such sightings.

Thanks. Good tip.

Thanks all. I'll take a look at my MapSource software.

I'm a new geocacher. What software can I use to download LOC files to my iQue M5? I tried EasyGPS, but it did not have the M5 as an option. I don't mind paying for something if it's easy to use. I'm just hoping to find another M5 user who can vouch for the software working with this unit. THanks.
