Hi,
Got a dilemma we need help with....our teenage daughter will be leaving soon to be an exchange student to Norway for a year. What's the best way to store so many photos she'll take? Should she take a laptop to download them on? Or quite a few memory sticks or what?!?!

Hi, Corey,
Thanks for your message. You must be so proud of your daughter getting to go to Norway.
We've written about the country often, including here:
http://www.budgettravelonline.com/bt-dyn/content/article/2005/06/04/AR2005060400707.html
My suggestion is that your daughter get an annual "Pro" subscription to Flickr.com.
The subscription will let her upload her photos from her laptop. That way, they'll be saved someplace safe in case the laptop dies. And the site makes it easy to share photos with others by email, or to make postcards using sites like Moo.com. The site is free to use, but to store an unlimited number of pictures you need to get a 25-dollar a year subscription. However, I think it's worth it. And she can keep emptying out her memory sticks. If she doesn't plan on bringing a computer, she can borrow someone else's to download her photos, if her camera uses a standard cable (such as a USB cable).
Hope this answer helps,

On a short trip, I've gone to a library and emailed them to my GMail account.
You could also use email or file sharing sites to get them from your daughter, and burn to CD/DVD.
You could snail mail them, download the photos, and mail them back. She doesn't need a computer for that.
