Davik Teng's story began in the back country of Cambodia, but the next chapter will take place in Southern California, where surgeons will try to fix the young girl's damaged heart. Press-Telegram reporter Greg Mellen and photographer Jeff Gritchen have just returned from Cambodia with 9-year-old Davik and her mother, Sin Chhon, along with Peter Chhun, an NBC News cameraman, and Chantha Bob, better known as Bobby at work at Sophy's Restaurant in Long Beach, who have been leading the quest to bring her here for care at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Watch the PT and this blog for continuing coverage of Davik's progress.

Getting geared up to go on a 15 day trip, four days of which will be in a remote village, is not easy. Here is what I'm bringing - as you can see the clothing only make up a small portion of my baggage.

2 cameras, 3 lens, a flash, 4 camera batteries, laptop, 3 laptop batteries, video camera, 3 video camera batteries, iPod Touch, international power adaptors, batteries, video tapes, CF cards, chargers for the still, camera, laptop and video camera and assorted cables.

My goal is to fit all this stuff, plus a rain jacket (Phnom Penh Weather) in just two bags.

Now let's see what Greg is bringing.
