Daniel's post about a waterproof case for his digital camera got me thinking...

What types of electronic toys and gadgets is everyone bringing with them on Spring Break?

What can you *not* live without for the week you're here?

Digital cameras?
Video camcorders? (anyone got the new HD models that are out?)
Cell phone?
PDA?
iPod? or other?
Laptop?
Portable DVD player?
GPS?

what else?

AND, if we set up an email address so you guys can send us your cell phone pics and videos while you're in PCB... would you do it??? We might be able to find some VIP passes or some free stuff for those who did......

There is no way I am going anywhere withouth my cell phone and iPod (for the plane ride). My buddy is bringing the camera though, I get drunk and forget to take pictures.

I'd absolutely send you my cell phone camera pics... how would we get those passes though?

we would find a way. they'd have to be really good pics for a VIP pass, though... good subject, large resolution (no tiny pics!)

it'd be fun to do like a photo scavenger hunt. like a list of pictures to get. i.e. a picture with a hotel desk clerk holding a beer or stuff like that.

Hey - GREAT idea Pman!

If we get a list together and anyone completes it and sends us all the pics, we could hook them up with 2 VIP Express Entry passes for Spinnaker (one-time use only).

Worth it?
Any takers?

pending the possibilty of attaining the pics, i'd be up for the challenge... being on foot might become an issue though... that and the fact that i won't have a laptop to load the pics from a camera. i suppose i could use my cell camera though...

1. Camera with waterproof case
2. GPS
3. Zune player
4. Friend is bringing a camcorder
5. Tricked out 1979 style boombox
6. Oh yea and my cell

Btw, Steve I'll be sending Randy the pics from last year tonight and to the member's album.

Sweet idea!! the possibilities are endless with that kind of a prop.

Wow that would be a great idea!

What if, so as not to take up too much of someones break or expect too much from one person, a list was comprised (by suggestsion or otherwise), and each person agreed to do one or two and we piled it all up in one thread?

One pic for Express Entry passes? Man, we'll need more effort than that! We'll come up with a list - it'll be an easy list - and you guys will be able to pick from it and submit a certain number of pics. These will be pics that you typically would be getting anyway - and most of you could probably complete the list within 10 or 15 minutes.

well I meant for nothing. Obv I wouldn't expect you to give stuff away for one pic. I just meant for fun. But yea, if it's that kind of list, bring it on.

In that case, yeah - just send the pics to webteam@tripsmarter.com and we'll put them in a special thread!

If you're interested in the Spinnaker Entry Passes, we'll start a contest thread tomorrow sometime after we sort out the details.... stay tuned!

Sweet... I'm in.

i plan to bring my camera and laptop to load pics onto, and i would love to send any great pics that i manage to snap
