Around the World Travel. Part 15 (Electonica!!)

When this article posts, I will be in Istanbul using the below gadgets to immortalize my trip. Electronics is a vital part of anyone’s around the world travel these days whether we like it or not. Thank goodness, I belong to the ‘like it’ camp!

Here is a short post on all the electronics I am bringing on my tour. Some are sane or de rigueur (oh la la) and some might be a little nutty. I am also not getting paid to mention anything on this post. Thought I would throw that out as many bloggers lace their posts with stuff they get some $$ for.

  1. Apple 64 GB iPad with wireless keyboard (weighs 1.5 pounds, need I say more?)
    1. Contents of iPad
        1. 12 movies (for those blue, homesick travel days)
        2. 12 books
        3. 2 travel guides (Turkey + India)
        4. WordPress App- for blogging

      64 gigs of pure joy!

  2. Cannon Coolpix S570- small compact camera that takes amazing pics
  3. Samsung SIM mobile phone (friend bought it in India on his last trip)

    Never hurts to have a cell phone....

  4. Flip Video. 1 hour of HD  video (got it through work at big discount)- Currently the iPad doesn’t have the capability to upload and view video directly from the Flip(you need a PC or Mac). I am playing around with a couple work arounds and hope to blog on their progress.

    Flip or die!

  5. iPhone- I can hear you are cringing on this one but with an iPhone I get the following: iPod, web browser, calculator, checkbook, and all the other myriad of apps available, it’s a must for me. Plus my Nano just got stolen recently, so I needed an iPod.
  6. Assortment of electricity converters, cables, and chargers

That about covers it…anything out there that you have brought and would like to mention? Please comment below!

    well, it wasnt about money, I worked for the company who bought Flip video and got an insane price on it and its small and portable, so thought it would make a nice to have it with me.
