Gadgets Galore!

Got a new camera last weekend - a lovely spanking Canon PowerShot G9!!! Thought I may as well push the boat out, you know, this being a trip of a lifetime and all!

Just need to take a photography degree now to understand the hefty booklet that comes with it. "No, it hasn't got many languages in it" I remarked to a friend, "It's all English in here!" Shame the weather is being somewhat pants this week, or I'd be out giving it a test run. Still, it'll certainly get used in Cornwall in September, so I should be a PowerShot whizz by the time I depart for Bangkok.

I'm just waiting for a leather camera case to arrive from another website, plus I've finally ordered an iPod, so by the beginning of next week, I should be starting to load on my CD collection and "Learn Spanish In A Week" - you know, for the Americas! Plus, this little device is going to be my lifeline out there, a handy place to back up the many thousands of photos I am sure to take.

Not much to do now (still haven't got travel insurance, but I will I promise!) - the jabs are going well, nine down, three to go! The next one is due on the 21st, then the last two a few days later, so all will be complete before the end of August. How organised am I?
