Everywhere I go, I am either staying with friends or family who have a computer, or there are internet cafes where I can check my e-mail. As for images, if it is a short trip, then the 5 GB worth of CF cards that I have is enough; if I do not think it will be, then I take my XS-Drive storage tank--it is something similar to the Epson you recommend, except that it has no screen to review the images and is much cheaper (less than $200). I find that is anyway difficult to judge a picture on a small screen like that. The one exception to the "no computer" rule is when I go to visit my sister in Poland for 2-3 weeks, as I do at Christmas time. I go by car, so luggage is not an issue, and I know that there will be plenty of time when we are just doing nothing, so spending that time on the first edit with ACDSee is a good idea. And most importantly, I can show the pictures to my sister and brother-in-law while I am there. Nathan Robert D.
