Ted -

I just got back from my first totally digital trip.  No regrets!!  It 
was so much easier to get through the airports, in spite of my metal 
knees.  No film to carry and keep up with.  The ability to change 
ISOs when I need to.  The 1DMarkII is great at higher ISOs and, in 
spite of its size and weight, is a really good, versatile camera to 
take on a long trip to remote places.  You might want to look into 
the Mark II.  It's a tank of a camera.

Of course, you won't be that remote in Portugal and England!  I 
carried an Epson P2000 and my laptop to download into and had no 
problems at all with batteries or room to download even with 3000+ photos.

Good luck and have fun!

Tina
