Subject: [Leica] Lightroom 2 question - can one merge?

I do all my work on the portable powerbook on the "road" and then send them 
to LR at home. I save all adjustments and then re-import them from the hard 
drive to the home based computer. I've never attempted to merge databases: 
sounds scary. Stick with the tried and true ;-)

Here is the scenario: on Tuesday I drive to Bath with my son,  
returning to Alicante on Friday. Of course I will take pictures on  
the way, and on my way home I will have a lot of time to kill, first  
4 1/2 hours on the ferry from Poole to Cherbourg, and then a couple  
of hours at a cheap Etap hotel on the motorway in France. So I want  
to use some of that time to process my images. I will have my  
Powerbook G4 with me, running Lightroom 2.

Now, the question is: when I get home, I will want to merge the  
images processed during the trip into my main LR database on my  
desktop iMac. Can this be done in some reasonable way, or is my only  
option to export the images with the adjustments embedded to DNG  
files, and then re-import them on the iMac? In other words, does LR 2  
have a facility for merging two LR databases?

TIA,
Nathan
