Oh my God somebody please help me

So I'm leaving Sunday for my three week trip to Spain in which I planned to take many pictures and learn lots and have fun.
I ordered a wolverine flashpac on the 28 of Dec from Adorama (a Friday).
I knew they wouldn't process it until Monday so I figured I'd be safe and pay the extra for the three day shipping so it'd get here by Thursday at the latest.
It didn't arrive today so I checked the tracking info and it says it's "In Transit - On Time" FOR MONDAY.
I leave Sunday.
So much for three day shipping.
(I suppose in retrospect I should have figured they wouldn't work on new years day. That's lame.)

I have no idea how to store all my pictures now.
I don't have room for a laptop, and I seriously doubt the stores around here will have a phd, but I'm going to check tomorrow anyways.
What do I do?

I think my only two options are to buy lots of 8 gig flash cards,
or to get one of those card readers that transfer directly to external hard drives.
Do those work well?

Buy a handful of CF cards? Memory's pretty cheap and a couple of 4G or 8G cards will get you a long way, especially if you aren't just shooting madly.

you go to a store and you pick up 2 8gig cards?

Buy CF cards - lots of stores in Spain sell them.

I don't know where you are . Most of the time [ here anyway ] You can go to fed-ex , DHL and the post office and ask if you can pick-up and say If I can't pick up before - please hold here for me . I am going to Spain [ show ticket confirmation ] and don't want the hassle of filing a claim because someone stole it .
It is a hassle for them to find and / or tell driver to not deliver and then store till you pick up .
GOOD LUCK .

Got a costco near you? Got pick up a bunch of cards and return them when you get back from the trip!

Yep, I love telling folks NO on returns like this. If you can afford a trip to Spain, you can afford some extra cards. Nope, don't work for Costco either. :p

Just out of curiosity Ben, where do you buy your underwear? :)

Yeah! Or, go one step lower on the ethics rung and just find pics of Spain you like on the internet, right-click a few times, and you'll have a world class vacation album.;)

I tried to sell used tickets and photos of one of my trips on ebay as an alibi kit - lol.
