Good afternoon muggers

We are heading to France and Italy for a first time holiday in September with some friends, all of whom have never been there. Should be great however...

I am worried that I wont be able to keep up with work commitments back in Oz via email over there, and would like some advice from some seasoned travellers about how I can best do that, by either taking a light weight mac laptop (Air), or perhaps an iphone or ipad?

At the moment I use Mail on a macbook pro (10.5.8) but am not sure if an ipad would allow me to use that software? Im thinking I will need something light to carry around, and not be an obvious target for those pesky thieves ie an iphone or ipad or possibly the Air? Or just take my trusty MacBook Pro and use in hotels when ever I have internet.

I see from some previous posts there are pros and cons with using a phone overseas. Some recommend actually buying a local Simm card to put in the phone.

I just dont know which would be the most convenient and effective way to proceed on this.

Thanks for any suggestions and kind regards to all.

Chris
