    Linda:
    How was your camera stolen?  Knowing the circumstances of the theft may help other Untour members prevent a theft.

    I will be taking a 30GB portable storage device with me on our trip to Paris next Spring.  I plan to download the photos at the end of each day even if the memory card is not full.  I can always delete the temporarily stored photos when I am ready to download a full card.  I also will be taking four 2GB memory cards with me.  Like you, I had thought of just getting two 4GB cards (one DVD will accept 4GB's worth of photos).  But when I posted that idea on a forum photo site for opinions, I got a response I hadn't thought of.  What happens if the 4GB card "crashes"?  It can happen. That's 300-400 photos lost.  (In your case the 4GB card was lost along with the camera)  So I got 2GB cards instead. The only reason I didn't get 1GB memory cards is that they fill up fast.  Also 8 cards in the backpack or pocket is a recipe for confusion.  Since I have 4 memory cards, I used a black magic marker and numbered the cards 1 to 4.  So when card number 2 is full, I know to reach for card number 3 to put in the camera.  The same idea applies to the four rechargeable batteries I will be bringing.  If I follow the number sequence, I will know which battery to reach for next.

      My husband and I just spent a wonderful three weeks in Greece.  Two weeks with Untours in Nafplio, with day trips and a couple overnights, and then four days in Athens and three days on Santorini.  We had a super time and saw some wondrous sights.  However, on the last day in Athens our camera was stolen along with all the pictures we had taken.  I guess that will teach me to put a 4GB memory card in the camera.  We had about 900 photos.  I was wondering if any of you fellow travelers had some good shots of Greece that you would be willing to share.  If so, please e-mail me and we can correspond.  Thanks so much.
