Which is why I said take a case for the goodies

Make sure that if you get electronic stuff that it's actually in use before you bring it back .

Flatten any boxes that need to come home and send them by post .

Make sure your credit card folk know when you are going and when you return - add on a day or two at either end in case of problems . There's no chip and pin there and our CC folk think this makes for high risk of fraudulent use so they'll stop your cards at the slightest whiff of what could be a problem.

I was in the Apple Store there [ and I'd told them before I went what I was buying and where ] and after the first purchase my card was declined and I had to use one of the spare ones . Make sure you have the CC Companies phone numbers .

sort of back up thing

I came across this plea for help
Quote:

I am looking into those portable photo storage hard disk things. It seems like a good idea, and would mean that, when on holiday, I wouldn't have to take my laptop or buy more SD cards.
I am looking for a very cheap one. It doesn't have to be huge (20GB would be fine) and I'm not bothered about the LCD or anything like that. Does anybody know if these are useful and worth getting?

I'm finding it quite hard as I don't know the actual name for them
So far what he has found is

and

Anyone got any ideas for a UK supplier of such goodies ?

When I went over for my K-x [ Dec 2009 ] I was wandering about with it hanging round my neck

Mind you I only had one day in New York .

The cops in Grand Central in their wee electric buggies don't mind you taking their pics - they'll even ask you how you want to take it

I took pics in the Subway - no hassle

I took pics on the grounds of West Point [ their Military Academy ] no problem but I'll admit that the car I was in was searched as we entered - twice in fact .

Despite all you hear they are much more relaxed than we are

OH - take an empty case for the stuff you are bringing back and for goodness sake try Juniors Cheese cake - it's to die for [ I had some mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ]
