I hadn't thought about the reading glasses. I bring the lightest pair I could find, a folding pair in a small metal case from gofastandlight.com--the shipping cost as much as the glasses! They are pretty fragile-looking, though. I will look for a small plastic magnifier for backup. While since my cataract surgery I can get along without regular glasses (although I do need them to drive), I sure can't read a map without something to help!
