First would be are you talking digital or film. Then slr or point and shoot. And then we can go from there. We probably went overboard on our protection and stuff for our digital, but it was worth it.

The hard part was trying to go thru over 3,000 photos to put up on the web and that does not count what we tried to make actual photos with. And then narrowing it down from there for the big blowups! But was it worth the trouble - yes, without question.

You have time, so you have tons of options yet. We bought a new digital camera almost 6-9 months ahead of time to test and play with and figure out before the trip. That was a huge help.
