Snap out of it

Well, the trip is officially one week away. Packing is yet to begin, although I have begun my search for the perfect camera. Clearly, photo-documenting my trip is more important than worrying about how many sweaters to bring...

Several days ago, I was perfectly content on bringing my old- but functional- digital camera. Until of course, the camera was no longer functional. After several pain-staking attempts to turn on my camera, it was clear that this 6 year old snap shot wasnot suited to survive 2011. And so, the quest for a new camera began. After a 20 minute browse in the electronics department of Target, I thought I had found the perfect digital camera. Inexpensive, compact, and supposedly wonderful at taking high-quality pictures. False.

Beware this Nikon Coopix is NOT so cool!

Below is a picture of my shoes-- With the lackluster Nikon camera. Uglh.

(not tragic, but we can do better than this...)

So, today I returned my disappointing purchase and ordered a slightly more expensive, but supposedly outrageously awesome, digital camera (The Panasonic FH20). We'll see about that. I'm eagerly awaiting the camera's arrival, and even more eagerly awaiting my Dublin departure.

Talk to you in a flash!
