A laptop or a netbook would be absolutely ideal to have on the road with me for a number of reasons cited above. However, I've been checking the weight of both bags i'll carry with me (camera & backpack) and believe me - every ounce counts. Especially b/c i've decided to go with the following lens combo: 17-40, 50 1.8, and the 70-200 F4 IS; as well as an external flash, batteries, etc.
I've decided to simply carry a usb card reader along with 3-4 4 gig CF cards. At each hotel/hostel I stay at, i'll simply upload my pics onto a computer.
This leads me to the final piece to the puzzle, which is, what site should I use to upload my batch photos to?
As recommended, I do want to create an online backup of my photos while I am traveling. This to avoid the risk of only having a single copy of hard storage until I return home in September.
What do your recommend for online storage?
Flickr offers unlimited online storage for a descent fee, yes?
Thanks for reading and responding thus far! You know it is appreciated!
Sincerely,
Colin

If I were him, whether or not to bring a laptop wouldn't even be an issue - it would be #1 of things on my list to bring.
