Pre-trip updates

I purchased a new camera for the trip and have been learning how to use some of the many features of the Nikon D90. I have read a couple of books on Digital SLR photography and my camera in particular. I say this at the risk of you all realizing that my pictures may not be very good at all and this may cause some of you to question my reading comprehension skills.

More purchases for the trip – SD card for the GPS which includes Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic. It was Jeff’s responsibility to add hotel address and other points of interest into the unit, but as I write this on the plane to AMS, no addresses have been entered. Hopefully he won’t enter them after a Liter or two of Spaten or Augustiner.

I purchased an 8g SDHC card for pictures and a 4g card for video, only to find out later I already had a 4g SD card for my old P&S. DOH!

I needed a camera bag, and on Dad’s recommendation looked at a couple of Crumpler bags at an online retailer. I then found out there are 2 Crumpler stores in NYC. They are an Australian manufacturer and make great bags. Check them out!

I also bought a new pair of Puma SpeedCats. Nice.
