I haven't had to do this in US for a while (usually when I'm in the US it's for work, so I use my work phone) but the last time I did I was able to get a pretty decent pay as you go card from T-Mobile. If I remember correctly the roaming included the entire US (unlike Canadian plans). On a side note, I have friends who actually use a contract / US mobile in Canada as they claim to get better rates on long distance etc. Yes… I haven't had to do this in US for a while (usually when I'm in the US it's for work, so I use my work phone) but the last time I did I was able to get a pretty decent pay as you go card from T-Mobile.

Taking literally thousands of photos on safari, on the endless roads, through the many countries, on the beaches, parties, etc. etc.... she would extract her photos regularly from her SLR to free up space and serve as an invaluable backup!

Laptop, Ipod, and camera are definitely necessities - I don't know what I'd do without them. I wonder how the ipad will do in the next few years. Maybe the newest travel necessity? I'd probably use some of those gag-gadgets too haha Great list Julia. Laptop, Ipod, and camera are definitely necessities – I don't know what I'd do without them.

It's beautiful and the newer ones have a bigger hard drive than mine does but no ethernet port (at least on mine, not sure about the newer models) so you have to take the adapter for that and there's absolutely no way to lock it down to your desk because there's no place to insert a cable lock. I'm with Backpacker44 down there. Netbooks are cheaper and a bit more convenient and I wouldn't cry too much if I lost it or broke it (unlike the Air or my Mac which cost significantly more).

I am not in to lugging my DSLR around, with all of its lenses. I'm also terrified to break it. I'm a carry-on type gal so I only have space for one camera. I always carry my Canon SX20IS with me. Small enough to fit in a tight pace, but also has incredible zoom capabilities.<br><br>Since I need as much space as possible, I always carry a netbook with me. It has enough memory for me to load my photos on to, and is great for updating my blog and emailing friends. I dont really need a disc drive when traveling anyways. Plus, if I break it I wont be out $2300 like I would be if I broke my Macbook Pro. They are cheap, light and small- great for the carry-on traveler. I would die if I went anywhere without my camera.

So happy to hear you like the blog. Thank you! I've got the Macbook but recently was coveting my friend's Pro. I think it's time for me to upgrade too....good luck with your new one! Hey!
