I took my i-pod and dock and they didn't work - I always have problems with electrical equipment.

I usually just take what I think I will need with regards to memory cards etc.

I bring two large memory cards for my good camera and will generally download them to my computer every day. Since the batteries are $70 each I only own two of them and they can last a week without any problems. I have two batteries for my Mac but since I use it to charge my Ipod and keep my travel logs along with using it on the flight down it is dead after a few days. I'm thinking about bringing an inverter down so I can charge my laptop in my friends van--we don't have public utilities where I stay.

For clothes, I generally will wear a pair of pants and a pull over, every thing else is shorts and tee shirts. Depending on where I travel I will not bring clothes at all in some cases if they are cheaper to buy once I get there.

For travel I'll generally book my flight only at amex.com in order to use my points.

I had the same trouble with my Ipod - drove me crazy. Even my hairdryer went at snails pace. But now I have GHD straighteneres i've been told that they work on any current at the same heat.

I'm leery of those room safes, so every night, when no one's strolling on the beach, I dig a hole in the sand and bury my wallet in it. Then early the next morning, while everybody's sleeping in, I run out to the beach and dig up my wallet. Makes me feel sort of like a pirate hiding by booty.

That's an awful lot of work, though, so I'm looking into getting one of those "plans" like everybody was sticking up their keisters in the movie Papillon. Anyone know where I can get one of those? Urban?

Lol, I've stored mine in under the carpet in hotel rooms. Generally I can find a seam close to the bed or in a closet and it works like a charm. Actually I should keep my mouth shut about this or every hotel that I've done it to is going to come after me for new carpet.

I like your beach idea but a wooden crate is needed to make it a real pirates chest.....maybe some fake gold chains and treasure maps.
