Folks,
The Wife and I will be off on an extended trip through Europe and the UK at sometime in the next 12 months.

Rather than cart a 17" laptop and my portable 1TB drive with us I am looking at how else I can store images, maintain contact with home (email/skype etc), and have web access whilst on the road. Maybe the lappie is the best solution?

Ipad 2 seems to cover the contact, web access, image viewing and basic editing side of things but what about the storage of what I expect to be 100's of images.
Multiple, smaller memory cards maybe? I dunno . . .

I'd be very interested to hear how you folk, who travel a bit, do this.

Fred
