John,
  Thanks for sharing your experiences.  Sounds like a great trip.
  While not exactly dxpeditioning, I take my P3 to P4 for contests, and find 
it to be invaluable, both for checking band activity and for finding open 
spots for running.  Here's a picture of a prototype P3 in use in 2010 WPX CW 
a year ago:  http://arubaqth.com/Images/2010_large/2010_May_432_750.jpg
   Suggestion to Elecraft:   What would make the P3 even more useful for 
travelling would be a smaller version.  The box is mostly empty space, so a 
faceplate in a 2-3 inch deep box with appropriate fold out feet or braces 
(perhaps hinged to the back of the case) to allow the buttons to be pushed 
would be much easier to transport.
