Hostel computers suck, and you're going to want to have access to a usable internet to do research about the places you're going to see. Yeah, I second the netbook idea.

My friend Aaron is exploring France right now and loving his Acer Aspire One he got in the fall. He's taking loads of photos (as I imagine you might, too!) and I have to imagine having his own computer to fiddle with them on, and then upload them from, is worth the $350. I've played with these and the Dell Mini 9, and other than my strong Mac OS preference, I think they're awesome machines! A netbook might be a good investment.

Right now the plan is to use public computers to download from my card and onto my external/upload to Flickr. That is unless I can get my hands on a netbook somehow. @Dean – yeah I <3 my flip ultra, but I’m wondering if it’s worth getting an HD instead… hmm..

Going to hope for convenient public computers to get photos processed and online? Silly question… how will you get your photos from the cameras to the Flickr account without a computer?

The planning begins, yet I leave in 19 days, leaving an interesting little window during which I can order gear online and get it in time. I need to consult with you about technology soon.
