Congratulations! I think it's a wonderful hobby!

I really like it too and am totally thrilled to finally have a digital camera! As far as packing the camera, make sure you have a padded camera case and take it as a carry on. Also, don't let your film go through the x-ray more than once, it degrades it. Consider having your film developed in Vegas, even though it might be a little more $$. But if you can't swing it the film will probably be fine going through one more time but that's it. Oh I cannot wait to get this thing going in Vegas! I am going to have trouble limiting the number of pictures I take to fit on the card.

You can also buy a special film bag that protects the film through x-rays etc... my sister got one when she went to London

Oooh, good tip! I'm going to have to bring along my film camera also so I am sure to have enough room for all the pictures I want to take, which will be a lot! Pattie, I'm psyched that you have gotten into this!

I was just showing off my camera to my coworkers.

I have a case already for the camera but then I am going to need to carry on 2 bags. I don't know if they will let me.
I am taking some 800 speed film with me and I believe that they will hand check those. I plan on getting all of my film developed in Vegas. CVS here I come. I am also going to have them burn my digital pics that I get with my SD card to a CD so that I can use the SD card again.
