I tried traveling for the first time without a computer when I went to
Spain. I thought several 32 GB cards would be sufficient. I really
regretted that decision! I couldn't download and check the photos at the
end of the day like I usually do. Several of the 32 GB cards had problems
so I had to resort to my older 8GB ones. I could check e-mail on my Kindle
but I couldn't post any photos to share. I will not do that again. If
nothing else, I would get a tiny Acer netbook computer and take it along.
You can download photos on it, install LR to work on the photos, do e-mail
easier than on a Kindle and hook up an external storage device like the
little Seagate Free Agent Go which is smaller than a deck of cards but
holds 320 GB. I have a little Acer that I will take next time I don't want
to carry the big laptop.
Enjoy Scotland!
