A few years back I walked across northern Holland very happily with 
only a Palm (actually then it was a Handspring Visor) with a modem, a 
folding keyboard, and a Canon Elph.
When we finished the walk, last fall, the Elph (with film) had been 
replaced by a digital Canon S300, with the result that I took a good 
many more photos. If you carry a few extra flash memory cards you can 
take a lot of photos. Don't forget a spare battery and charger.

If I'm not walking I take the TiBook and even a small external hard 
drive. You can see the result at the address given below. But taking a 
laptop contributes to an anxiety about theft, mislaying, etc.

Of course there's also a good pen and a bound blank book. Mine go back  
thirty years, and when I reread them I truly regret having stopped 
using them. The day will surely come when it'll be easy to digitize 
them, and they have an immediacy and spontaneity and ease of use that 
can't be beat. And drawing still has its value beyond simply capturing 
the look of a place -- it stills and focusses the mind and involves the 
visual memory better than photography does. At least IMO.
