Doing a whistle stop tour of Europe with my wife and working thru the challenges of documenting our trip with my camera and trying to send some snaps back for friends and family to check out along the way.

Having a DSLR and the iPad has proven to be a prefect way to go. I can snap shots all day. Read books and surf on the trains wifi. Even post this poorly written entry on my blog.

Here are a couple of things I have learned in no certain order.

1. iBooks rules for scanning in all of your tickets. Also get PDF travel guides / maps of where you are going.
2. Even with the maps on there I still wish we had Google maps and the iPhone. Took us forever to get our bearings in London.
3. Camera connection kit is the tops. Get it if you shoot pictures and travel. Having a way to back up the key pictures is really nice.
4. Great image apps on the iPad: filterstorm & dioptic. I am also using flickr’s iPhone app to do uploads after post.
5. Trains are fantastic I want to move here just for that reason.
6. Currency converter tools are helpful but only for a bit.
7. You can get free sim cards with 10 meg / day free Internet in the train stations.
8. Wifi is everywhere in major cities
9. First class train reservations have internet included free.
10. England had a lack of trash bins. Oh and you have to pay to use the bathroom in train stations. Almost $.80 to shit.
11. I already forgot about work.

More to come!
