It is impossible to travel these days without sufficient electronic support: for us, this included a computer, a camera, and everything necessary in interface them together and to recharge their batteries. We took 834 still pictures and video clips; these fit easily on one 8GB Kingston Class 6 SDHC flash memory card. We did not use the two backup memory cards (same type) that we took with us, since we were easily able to upload the pictures to the computer.
We brought an interface between the camera and computer for uploading pictures; unfortunately, we could not find software to allow us to then upload the pictures to the blog.
"Electronics" also included power converters and adapters. Just for this trip, we bought a Travel Smart By Conair Adapter/Converter Combo with Surge Protection ($26.48 from amazon.com). It refused to stay plugged into any outlet we tried in India and will be returned to the seller. Luckily, we had thrown our old Norelco Model TC160 voltage converter into the luggage at the last minute as a backup.
Two other (both dual-voltage) electric appliances we took were a hair dryer and a curling iron, but we did not use either.
We also brought along a small pair of (non-electronic) binoculars, but never used them.
