If you are an avid photographer and enjoy taking pictures when you travel to a faraway land then I think you need one of these. I’m talking about an external hard drive that you connect to your PC or Mac to transfer your photos on. I know what I’m talking about because my wife is the avid photographer and she shoots on average of 200 photos per week. On our last trip when we sailed the Mediterranean, she came back with over 600 photos. Thank God for digital. Can you imagine what the development costs would have been for us if it weren’t for digital?
Since the time we visited Italy, Croatia and Spain, the price of external hard drives have come down dramatically. I bought a 500GB MyBook from Costco last June for $169.99 and thought that was a good deal. Today, for $115, I can buy the 750GB unit or for $210, I can get the 1000GB unit. Ok, these are substantial savings but it means it’s ok to go wild with your photographs.
And since we are on the topic of travelling, here’s some car rental codes that some of you have been asking for. Be sure to quote U102900 when renting from Budget to get a premium car at the airport for $229 per week. Or save $80 in Tucson, Arizona and rent an intermediate car for $99.99 per week when you quote U030089.
