Wow, over the next couple of months I am going to be doing a lot of travelling. First I will be going to Hawaii for about a week for Podcamp and Wordcamp Hawaii. 2 days after returning I am going to be going to India on business for 4 WHOLE WEEKS!! It will be my first trip to India so I am really looking forward to it. I don’t know if I really wanted to go for that long on my first trip, but hey what can you do when work calls. Since I will be gone that long I told my wife she might as well plan a trip to visit her parents in Japan. That way she will have some help with our 16 month old son and wont be alone for 5 weeks. If possible I am going to join her in Japan for about a week or so, depending if all things fall into place.
One thing I need to do is get all my bills online so I can pay them from anywhere in the world! Especially, if I am going to be travelling for these long periods of time.
For my Hawaii trip I know I am bringing my DSLR, HD Video Camera, and FlipVideo Camera. For India I am thinking about just bringing a good point and shoot camera that has the ability to shoot video as well. I am getting to the point where it’s a pain to carry all these cameras so I need to figure out a way to minimize my gear. I am thinking that a new higher end point and shoot with a BIG memory card or two is the way to go. What do you think? How are you travelling these days?
