Usually we fly into an assignment with toothbrush, if we remembered one, dropping out with the shaving cream. I especially appreciated the 'Be Nice' suggestion. There's nothing worse than a journalist blasting in like everything has to be done NOW with camera flashing and mike in the guides face. Everyone has their technical list. On mine is a small, wireless capable, ASUS notebook laptop with a 200 GB Maxtor portable harddrive. I upload any pictures to a website when I can find an Internet Cafe. This way I have 3 copies of any of those precious shots I was able to capture; one on the orginal SD, one on the portable Hard Drive and then one accessable on my website. Overkill? Not for me....I loose things. Looking forward to hearing about the Eastern Shore and your visit to 'Sh'incoteague. Thanks Laura.
