Kodachrome is a great film for travel.  Great film, period.  If you
submit your film to Kodak in the eastern U.S., it will likely go to the
Fair Lawn, N.J. facility, which I think is the largest K-14 lab in the
world.  The turnaround time is pretty good, about 4 to 7 days.  If you
use mailers within the U.S., you might want to send your film there
instead of a closer "lab" listed on the mailer.  From my folks' house in
Albuquerque NM, I got my slides back alot faster from NJ than from
Dallas, based on a one-time test.

It's possible your Kodachrome gets dunked in N.J. even if you send it
elsewhere, but I think Kodak has other K-14 labs in Dallas and
California.  I've yet to see the the so-called K-14 "minilab" that Kodak
touted a few years ago.
