Enjoy your trip!
Give us an update en route if you do take the 'puter.
But... it will might be more of a break without it. Not to mention hauling it around is no fun.
I took my laptop on a trip to Switzerland once. They have these weird electric outlets there. I stayed at a decent hotel - a Best Western - but they didn't have the right kind of adapter, so when my battery died...
Eh, basically, I went to Switzerland with a laptop and came back with a
brick. Ok, maybe just a bit flatter, but your basic, heavy rectangular thing, with no functionality.
(now i have a set of adaptor plugs
... but no money for trips to Switzerland.
)
sorry for the ramble... anyway have fun and we'll be looking out for a full report from you when you get back!
