How to Back-up digitals pictures in a foreigh country ?

[etiennecaron]

Hi,

Plan to do a big trip (3-4 months) in central america this winter with my Canon 10D. I want to do back-up of my pictures along my way and to send Cds back home (Montreal, Canada) by airmail service to secur my pictures (we never know !!!) Would like to know the best way to do it... buy a laptop and burn Cds in my hotel room or just go into a Cyber-cafe who would allow me to burn on the spot my back-up files in a Cd.

Honestly, will hope not to carry a laptop for my trip... going lite as much that i can... want to know if there is any CD BURNER device that dont need a lapop. I know the Sony VRD-VC10 that does the DV-2-DVD without a computer... it come with a USB port, but i think is ONLY to plug it into a Pc. :-(

What you guys doing in this case ?

thanks,

Etienne

Heres another one. I use this. It does a great job, but it only runs on mains power (or a car battery)

This one (http://www.addonics.com/products/mfr/aemfr842d.asp) does DVDs as well, and runs on AC or battery.

When you burn, burn two copies and keep one with you while you send the other back.
