Well, We're going to be spending the 22nd through the 27th at Disney World followed by three or four days at the beach near St. Augustine. Then back home for a couple days and I'm off to GFM. I've bought a small camera bag (LowePro EX140) and another CF card for the D. I'm very nervous about tripod/monopod envy at GFM. I currently have the El Cheep-o Adorama monopod and a Wal-Mart Tripod... I was looking this week at Bogen monopods but I don't know...With a head, I'm out at LEAST a hundred bucks... I can't really justify spending that much on a tripod since I really never use my cheep one.
BUT with this huge Disney trip looming, it's hard to justify spending much on myself. Those mouse ears don't buy themselves, you know?
