Morning, Hoggers. I typically travel with a MacBook Pro and download my photos from SD card to the laptop every night, then back that up to a portal SanDisk SSD drive. I also keyword my photos every night so I can remember what I saw, where I saw, etc. Then I wipe the card and start over the next day. But this laptop is heavy, and I'm trying to lighten my load. I could get a MacBook Air which would save some weight, but I'd like to eliminate that completely and figure out a way to handle my photos while I'm on the road. For those of you who have that scenario, what do you do? Do you use a separate SD card for each day? Do you download to an iPad or another device? How do you track what you saw? I can use a travel diary, I guess....any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

Dear JC...
FYI ~~ Only, this is just my current methodology
I travel with a DELL Laptop, a Canon EOS R5, and a Samsung S23 Ultra cellphone with shoots 50Meg RAW
.... Have an upcoming trip planned to Europe, the North area, and Mediterian, ending in Italy for 6 wks
I have arranged for 'cards' to have 2-1TB CFExpress, which will stay in my R5 and never be erased
.... I have 10 SD Cards ranging from 256kb to 125kb, along with 'card cases' which hold all
Images taken on my Cell Phone will be auto-loaded into my cloud account as taken...
... Images taken on my R5, will be offloaded onto my Laptop nightly
.... Finished images will be uploaded either from my Cell or Laptop which has a '5G cell modem' also
In addition to the above, additional "Timely" backup will be sent to the 'companion' 2TB SSD Drive
YES ~ I have the extra weight of the 3.5LBs of the Laptop but, that stays in my cruise stateroom at all times
As for me... "BACKUP" and redundancy are "KEY" -- That is "Just ME!"
I once had my laptop "die" on a trip to Paris, France, and swore I would always have an alternative.
... As you can see ~ there are "TONS" of redundancy in the above for sure.
... I do firmly appreciate everyone's own approach and what they do.
Hope you find your solutions and by all means, have a wonderful trip...
Cheers
