Netbook or Ipad for the trip?

Leaning toward netbook because I like the idea of being able to upload pics & vids from the camera to the netbook and saving them there, as well as loading them to some kind of cloud server...

Ideas so far...

Adrian and I have had a bunch of ideas so far in planning for this trip, just wanted to consolidate & share some of those ideas here:

1. Should read / follow blogs of people who have done this kind of trip before

2. Trip Advisor (www.tripadvisor.com)

3. Airline tickets, look at companies that offer around the world tickets such as Star Alliance, found a cool feature on their website (http://www.staralliance.com/en/booking/book-and-fly/#), this one is pretty good too: http://www.bootsnall.com/tripplanner.shtml?utm_source=rtwnewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=banner&utm_campaign=2010apr

4. Get a bad ass water proof HD camcorder / camera (http://sanyo.com/xacti/english/products/vpc_ca100/index.html)

5. Get a netbook, seems like a pretty solid idea, think it will come in use for looking stuff up on the go (hostels, restaurants, activities, etc), we can use skype on the netbook to make calls, we can also use it to upload photos / vids from the camera, cnet says this is a good one... http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus-eee-pc-1018pb/4505-3121_7-34121925.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody

Adrian, any other ideas / resources we've discussed that I'm missing?

Welcome to Trip Around The World 2011 Blog!

I am planning a trip around the world with my best friend and biggest liability, Adrian Hunter. We are planning to leave in early 2011 and travel the world for approximately 6 months, maybe more. We wanted to start this blog for a couple reasons: 1. To post, share, and discuss related travel ideas with friends as well as fellow travelers, and 2. To post updates, pictures, videos, and share our stories as we travel the globe.

As a wise man once told me...AH LET'S GO!
