I have been looking at things I would like to take with me, for both practical and comfort reasons, and I have come up with a wishlist for the trip.
Photography - One of my regrets from the previous trip is the quality of photos. I took over 3,000 photos but due to storage constraints, the majority of them were taken in 640×480 format. I think my camera was 2 mega pixel, and to be honest it did a good job. I only had a 128mb card to store photos …
