I do travel with a eeePC and feel that it's very important to make sure I limit my usage while traveling. I bought it for cheap and also make online backups of my pictures. If it gets lost, stolen, or broken - I won't mind as much. I hardly have many clothes lol. I do travel with a eeePC and feel that it's very important to make sure I limit my usage while traveling.

Maybe yours will too if you try the same? The SD card was on sale post-Turkey day.<br><br>(And, uh, also have more than 2 sets of clothes....though since I'm only 5ft tall they DO compress pretty well).

With regards to the computer, I'm siding with Legal Nomads in that it's not so much of a burden to take a little netbook. The value of having one far outweighs the danger of losing it. I've taken my ASUS on several trips and am now attached. I feel I'm a good judge for how much time I'm spending on it, really only using it for emails, making reservations and storing pictures. Things that a paper notebook just can't do.<br><br>I do like the advice for just about everything else. The shoes included. So many shoes! But how do you get along with 2 sets of clothes? I take 4.
