Hi, I am getting organised for a road trip around Europe and was wandering about a few things and I'd like your help guys.
1)Should I purchase a portable storage and viewing device or should I just tell one of my friends that are coming with to bring their laptop with them? Sold mine to get a new desktop. I don't know if I'll be able to charge the laptop as often as i would charge the portable storage in the car.
2)I've been meaning to get insurance for my gear (Canon 400D, EF-S 18-55 kit, EF 35-105, 50mm 1.8, Sigma 10-20 EX, Sigma 70-300 APO, Lensbaby 2.0, Canon 100-400L (purchase before the trip), Sigma EF-500DG Super, Manfrotto 055PROB). Will the insurance cover me if the gear is stolen a)from the boot of the car - Ford Mondeo Estate- or 2)from a hotel room.
3) Should I bring ALL my gear with me?
4)Any advice in general? Any recommendations on places, I am open to suggestions, the plan is to go to Dover-Calais and just hit the road. We'll have two EOS 400D, one Canon S5 IS, one Canon IXUS850 and a Panasonic HD Video Camera, so we would all like to capture a lot of beauty.
Thank you for your time
George
