I'm busy planning a two week trip to Norway with my cousin in two months. One of the questions in my mind is if I should bring a laptop along. I haven't traveled without a laptop in years and years. When I went to Norway 7 years ago I brought one and used it only to store pictures from my digital camera. Today I suspect that in the urban areas I am likely to be able to find wi-fi in many places which would make it more useful. On the other hand this trip I will be travelling around more regularly and a laptop is extra weight. I need to find out if I can use my Treo 700w in Norway. If I can, especially if I can connect to the Internet for email, that should be enough of a communication device. The memory devices for cameras are much better than the floppies I used 7 years ago so I don't worry so much about needing a back up.
And yet the idea of not having a laptop even on vacation feels funny. I could blog the trip with a laptop for example. The Internet is easier on a laptop than a phone as well. But there is the weight thing again. I guess I need to look into the phone question first. Sigh.
