[quote="Keen2Learn"]Many, many have including of course Pentax User mag. You should try it sometime especially if you are as your name suggests keen to learn.

It is a piece of software.
But there is also a very good website and magazine which has lots of useful tutorials and tips for those of us who use it. www.photoshopelementsuser.com

No doubt there is something similar for full PS. I see a PS mag in the shops here in English.

Pentax User and Photoshop Elements User are the only two I subscribe to. I usually get them several weeks after they were published but they do get here eventually.
If I see a magazine in the shop that looks interesting/informative then I may buy it, but English language magazines are very expensive here, and Dutch language ones on the whole are pretty useless.

Most UK companies won't cover you if you are permanently resident in Spain.

If you are a subscriber to PU magazine I believe you can get insurance through them.

I found a really good deal here in the Netherlands insuring my gear through the television company - I get the same coverage as they get for their seriously expensive gear, and it means mine is also covered if I have to check it when flying for instance.
Some local photographic organisations offer insurance to members.

Read the conditions of any insurance carefully before accepting it - some exclude theft from hotel rooms or cars for instance, or even from a camera bag whilst you are taking photos, very few cover theft/damage if you have checked your gear when flying and when it comes down to it some (most?) aren't worth the paper they are written on.

I agree on the toothbrush and the flowers. Also I don't like the grey horizontal line - are you planning on cloning that out?

Another vote for portrait.

Thankyou Steve and Mike.
I have decided to send my money on cameras not on things to carry them in, for now (the Tamrac cost enough as it is ). According to the Tamrac site the Expedition 5 meets BA's carry on requirements so I shall take it. I may still put the Bigma in my handbag or in OH's carry on though, just to free up some room. Luckily it comes with a very nice case.

We fly into T5 and out of T4 unfortunately. Originally it was all to be T5 which was one of the reasons for booking BA. Maybe on the return flight it will all be T5 but I doubt it. Still it has to be better than a connection in the US. Doesn't it???
Good job I allowed loads of connection time.
I may end up with the Bigma in my handbag if I get the K20D so that I have room for both bodies in the rucksack. The gear is all well insured even if I have to check it, but obviously I'd rather not. I don't care if they lose my case as long as I have my camera

Many years ago my Other Half would to go there regularly on business. The company he then worked for had a branch there. I never got to go with him though.
We're only spending the first night there before heading north. OH says there is little reason to hang around Phoenix.

The 25th we hope to be in Silver City NM enjoying the Memorial Day weekend blues fest, before re-entering Arizona and exploring Tombstone, and the Tucson area if it isn't too hot. If it's too hot we'll head for the hills. We fly home on June 1st.

Thanks Steve. Maybe Ill risk the back pack after all. Always good not to have to spend even more money.
What date are you flying? We are going on May 11th for three weeks
