I have nightmares like this so often!!  They usually involve dropping all
of my film in a river or being robbed of my exposed film after a month-long
trip.  In my nightmares in Russia and Iran, they confiscate all of my film
at the airport,  In Honduras and Guatemala, I end up losing the film in the
river.  The nightmares still wake me up and I remember that I only have to
keep up with a tiny memory card now.

I agree, it is so much better not to have to worry about all of that stuff!
