Totally agree, Ken.
Still I usually come home thinking that I should have spread the
available time and effort on more motifs rather than many alternatives
of a few. It's so frustrating to see how few exposures are left after
the culling of experiments that didn't work. Especially when it is the
first attempt that sticks. -Which for me happens more often than not for
landscapes. Wildlife is another story of course...

I've found that digital removes all reasons for an improperly exposed image and
allows me to try variations on compositions that I probably wouldn't attempt
with film.

Looking back from 9 years on, I didn't take enough photos when I visited China
in 2010.
Even though I'd been shooting Digital for seven years by then, I think I was
still stuck with the film mentality of only having 36 frames max and for a once
in a lifetime trip you can't afford to waste a shot.
I'm still struggling with that.

But there are definitely advantages to the visual, just looking at photos,
especially if lighten stops talking to Google maps or something

It will help tremendously later when you're trying reassemble your

itinerary & figure out where you've been (especially 9 or 10 years
later).
That would be the lo-tech solution.
I've been travelling with a portable Garmin GPS unit for the last ten
plus years.
Back at home, I simply tag all photos with the GPS position where
they've been taken. I'm using HoudahGeo on the Mac to do this
automagically. There's plenty of Windows software available, as well.
Tagging photos has a number of advantages. In addition to being able to
tell where they've been taken, software like lightroom allows searching
for photos taken at or around a certain location. Immensely helpful
when
I'm looking for a photo of a particular place, e.g. to illustrate a
posting in my blog.
