John, Generally I have my laptop along (320 gig hard drive), and download the pix to it, then back up to a portable external HD. When I travel, the laptop is in my backpack (carry-on) and the portable HD is in my checked luggage.
When I've had a long flight ahead in a standard coach seat (no room to open the laptop), I've transferred the images to my Epson P3000 viewer. That lets me spend about 2 1/2 hours doing a preliminary edit before the battery dies. Then, I import what's left on the viewer into LR on my home computer. If I had an iPad, I'd use that instead. Sounds like a great trip prospect!

Those of you who travel a lot: How do you store your photos while on long trips? Next May I'll be spending some time in Australia with my company (specifically, in Melbourne for roughly a week and a half), and then I'm hoping to be able to take another week or two off for a bit of a vacation while I'm down there. My little Chromebook only has a 16gb drive, so that won't do. Nor will my old Alienware laptop, which is effing massive and just way too slow. I'm thinking I just need to get a small laptop with a big-ish hard drive (say, 250gb+), or get one of those portable hard drives with card slots you can dump stuff into (and take the Chromebook for internet), but I'm really curious what frequent travellers think is the best solution.
