Nah,

I travel light, both in the "normal" luggage and photographic luggage departments. My biggest single expense so far has been getting the CL out of the repair shop, which I would have done anyway...

Well, I was planning to spend money on the motel room and plane flight.

Then I got an Image Tank (I'll use it other times, but GFM pushed me that
way).

Then someone suggested to me I get some lighter weight lenses, because I
don't like lugging stuff around. Usually I go out with one lens on the camera to
shoot. But at GFM I figured I'd want about three, and one or two are pretty
heavy.

So I started looking at lighter weight lenses. (The Sigma 18-50/55-200
digital lens kit.)

Then a camera fanny pack.

Then...

I need a TSA lock for my suitcase. And maybe a new suitcase because I don't
think most of suitcases will take an extra lock.

So I started looking at both of those...

Then...

ENOUGH! HALT! This is only a three day conference after all! LOL!

I don't need to be THAT enabled!

I'll come with what I have, though I might get a cheapish fanny pack.

Anyone having the same experience?

Marnie aka Doe ;-)  Hehehe.
