unphotogenic...
It is becoming a problem not having a real camera. Sometimes I borrow David's work camera (shhhh! Don't tell!) but it takes horrible pictures. To top it off I don't have any of the cords to take the pictures off of it with me. This summer I had the cords for my video camera - but now, in this cramped hotel room I can't find it. Soooo...I can't even video. I know some of you are requesting that I post pictures but instead you should be making camera recommendations. Simply post what you like. I have only a few requirements. 1) It must be easy to use. Options are always fun, but when I'm travelling and being a mom my goals are to just get some shots as I often forget. A step further than that and I fall off the deep end. 2) It must take good, vibrant photos. The last few cameras I have had simply didn't do that. Sure, one of them could go underwater and admittedly that is cool and useful sometimes, but it took only ok pictures...now I just don't know where the battery is or the cords and something on it broke....sigh. 3) It must be pretty durable...afterall I...errr, the children, break things. And lastly, I wish they had bluetooth cameras so that I could just set the camera down beside my computer and all of the images would just transfer instantly...so if you know of anything with that kind of technology, please let me know...I'm willing to pay for that - afterall it is one less cord for me to misplace.

I love my Nikon, but it isn't the lightest or easiest to take on trips, but it still undeniably takes the best photos.
Also, several of the photos I took in Kenya were on my panasonic Luminx camera. It is awesome! It has a GPS system that automatically plugs in your immediate location. I also have an amazing lens for a hand-held camera. I love it! The colors are amazing and it do a great job of taking micro and macro photos. I HIGHLY recommend it.
Good luck! With all the traveling you do, you need to invest in a good one. Oh, especially for Nepal ;)
Wow, the grammar on my comment was atrocious! I was talking to Asa at the same time. Sorry for that. I am college educated, really.
I agree with Terahreu...the Lumix is supposed to be a fabulous camera. I'm trying to justify the cost. The LX3 has been out for a long time and has gotten great reviews. But it doesn't have much zoom capability. The LX5 just came out within the past few days and it has more zoom capability and some other improvements. But it's $500. Is that too much for a camera of this type? I'm not sure.

One more thing...you really should get a USB card reader. They're cheap and tiny, so you can get a few and keep them in your purse, your camera bag, or wherever. I think I paid under $2 for the last one I got.
I think it's faster to upload the pictures with them too.
