    You're doing it all wrong. Stay in motels or backpackers... free electrickery

    I carry a range of IT gear, as I may need to sort out an issue, so backpackers with free wireless are even better

    Lightbulb ditch the laptop use an internet cafe

    If you stay at a backpackers most of them have PC's so you can upload for photos off the sd card onto picassa of email the photos to you mum to reassure her that you are really a good boy
    another aoption is tobuy a few xtra SD cards
    enjoy the trip

    Cheap and easy option - get a 12V to laptop power supply such as:

    Then use the laptop to charge cellphone, ipod, camera (assuming they all have usb charge cables).
