After 15 years, my beautiful wife and I, and the two kids are about to embark on a life-changing trip to India. My wife who was born in India, is the visionary in our family. She has been the real spearhead in moving us towards this great adventure.
One of my jobs, is to organize the technology that we will be bring with us. If you know me, then this is something that I relish. Technology that will allow us to photograph our journey, write this blog and keep the kids entertained (and us sane) when needed. Because it will be I who has to carry all this tech, I have to make sure that we (I) don't go overboard.
Attached is a picture of all the potential tech items that could be lugged through India:
Here is what I think I'll bring:
Photography
-My iPhone (I'm not going to use it as a phone..too costly..but I do want to be able snap and share pictures quickly..provided I have some wifi)
-point and shoot for the kids to take pictures
-digital SLR and lenses (we have a canon Rebel Si and three lenses: a telephoto lens, normal lens that came with the camera a newly acquired fixed 50mm lens that I'm excited to tryout. If have to leave one behind, it will be the telephoto lens..it's the heaviest)
Tech
-My iPad (I'll load it with apps and movies including the Blogger app to blog on the go)
-My iPhone as noted above
-my sons iPhone touch
-my daughters older iPhone touch
Other
-plugin electrical converter to change everything in India.
Kinda looks like a lot of stuff. Hopefully lugging all this stuff around India for 6 weeks will be manageable. Wish me luck!
