As the last few weeks roll by before we depart for Thailand, I am realizing that we are well prepared and ready to go. School is finishing on a great note and it has been a productive year. There has been a big shift here from working on the Datsun, to getting ready to leave for the summer. I am a new person preparing to leave on such a huge trip. Everything going through my mind is in reference to last year's trip. But thins time, it's a totally different area of the world. I wonder what will be similar with travel and what will be different.
I will be using the iPad as my main connection to the Internet, but I had some issues with it last summer. One, is picture uploading capabilities to the blog. Facebook is not a problem, but uploading to Blogger is a little different. So, I am in the process of testing Blogsy. The reviews say it should do what I need, but the dive hut in Phuket is not the best place to learn software. Two, is how to get photos from the SD card to the iPad. Luckilly, the gen 2 device allows camera still shots and video, but I went ahead and got the Mac adapter for SD to the iPad port. Last summer I took almost 5k photos at the highest .jpg resolution and it was 6 gigs. Thats fine for stills but when you go to shooting HD, it's a different story. There will be 3X16 gig cards and 3x8 gig cards making this trip. To protect it all, I will be storing the SD cards and IPad in special Pelican Cases.
I will go ahead and post just to try what it's like from the Blogsy app.
