Andy,
There is a nutrient database for about 6000 foods on the USDA web site at http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/ Looks a bit technical but maybe it will be of some us to you.
Best of luck with the travels.

Re: Degrees Marks
Andy, I’m no GPS expert, but it looks to me like you might be able to eliminate web page/blog character display problems when showing a GPS coordinate if you use the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) format in decimal. Which according to the specs on your device, it does. The decimal equivalent does not require the special characters, similar to ones that display in Google Maps.
http://maps.google.com/
For instance, if you input your mentioned 41 07.92 N, 85 09.765 W in Google Maps it returns the location in Fort Wayne, Indiana and a companion GPS coordinate in decimal of 41.132000, -85.162750.
On the other side of the planet, say, in Bangkok would be 13.733333, 100.500000.
North and East are positive values, and South and West are negative values based on a starting point at Greenwich Mean Time and the Equator.
If the GPS Magellan eXplorist 100 will display in decimal, you won’t have to convert any data. And readers can simply input the values to see where you are.

I was wondering all along if/when you would ditch this crew and move on. Keep telling it like it is Andy. Your straight forward approach, and plain truth assessment of your travels is what makes your blog worth following.
Not sure if this is really a good gauge ot not, but I would suspect that Grenada should prove to be more friendly on the wallet than Trinidad anyhow, as it has a GDP per capita of 5,000 v.s. Trinidad at 12,700.

Andy,
Thats excellent. Is the wireless internet an unlimited connection, and does it come included in the room price? You say screaming fast internet, how fast I wonder? Can you test it for us internet office seekers? Thanks.
Any of these should do ....

I just came from Puerto Rico and I had a connection of 1100 kbps DL/1200 kbps UL or 1.1 mbps/1.2 mbps near the airport in San Juan.

Andy,
Looks like you are in San Marcos la Laguna just west of Panajachel. There is supposedly a place called Unicornio there that advertize a price of 35 Q / $4.67 US per night for a cabin with communal kitchen and hot water etc.
They have a one page web site ....
