Subject: [Leica] Read my lips - no new cameras

Folks-

Going to Hawaii for a couple of weeks.  Decided quickly that I wasn't  
gonna buy any new cameras or lenses (this trip's all on my dime).   
Had a fantasy of traveling  without a laptop for a few minutes but  
sat quietly 'till it passed.  Did pick up a backpack,  carbon-fiber/ 
magnesium 'pod and a polarizer  (I'll report on their performance and  
utility when I get back).

Landscape stuff is gonna be the province of an M with a half-dozen  
lenses from 15-135mm.  I'm thinking Provia 100, but would like  
opinions on optimum film choices for this sort of thing; also any  
other advice regarding the Big Island and Kauai...
