After years of travel, the technology we seem to consistently carry with includes the following:

• One or more Nintendo DS Lites. Bas always has his, and the rest of us carry ours sporadically.
• One or two notebook computers. Jake usually has his lightweight heavyweight (a 3.5 pound loaded Fujitsu Lifebook) for photo editing, as well as writing and working. The second computer is an ultra-light Sony VAIO-P which weighs about 1.5 pounds and is used for general family Internet and e-mail access as well as writing.
• Several Western Digital pocket hard disks for backups. We ALWAYS make back-ups, especially of our photography.
• A Cradlepoint WiFi Access Point and Router with WWAN sharing and load balancing built in. Slightly larger than a deck of cards, this device is great for being able to work whereever we want in our hotel rooms without being tethered by an Ethernet cable, plus it provides basic incoming firewall support.
• One or more iPods. Jake carries an iPod Touch, which covers as a quick and dirty web browser and e-mail handling device, while Krystyana has a 5G 160GB iPod Classic.
• A Sprint data dongle for high speed Internet access while in the U.S. Works on both notebooks and in the Cradlepoint router, and is a great alternative to paying exorbitant daily access fees. Plus it works in Puerto Rico.
• Kindles and Sony Readers. Linda, Krystyana, and Jake all have one and use them regularly. Great substitute for toting lots of books, but without a search function so we need to carry travel guides in paper form with us.
• Cell phones. We each have our own, with world roaming capability for emergencies. Jake is particularly enjoying his T-Mobile G1 Android-based phone.
• A compact 4-port power strip to plug in multiple chargers at once.
• An iGo Juice universal power supply for said Fujitsu notebook, along with tips to charge up our various gadgets, like the Nintendo DS Lites, the Sony Readers, the Kindles, cell phones, and iPods, among other things.
• Lots of camera equipment, including several point and shoots such as the Sony G3 (built-in WiFi photo upload support) and Olympus SW-1030 (waterproof to 33 feet), and DSLRs like the Nikon D300 and D90 with a multitude of lenses.
