[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 25262, member: 1061"] I was going to say...I found it hard to believe that insurance coverage was going to be an issue, but it looks like you've gotten that resolved. It wouldn't hurt to verify that you are covered [U]fully[/U] for any losses you might incur. It might not hurt to take out an additional inland marine policy for your trip. The cost would be minimal, and would be additional piece of mind. As for the rest, those are questions only you can answer. If it were me... I would take the camera [U]and[/U] the lenses. I know I would regret it if I left that stuff at home and didn't get those once-in-a-lifetime shots that I wanted. For me, it would be worth the risk. Keep in mind that any touristy place is going to be heavily populated and the odds of getting robbed would be lower. That said, policing in many countries outside the US is more like a mafia than anything else, so definitely use caution. I would certainly leave the wife and kids at home while out shooting with your camera. On the off chance that something does happen, I wouldn't want to risk anything happening to them. The camera can be replaced, people can't. [/QUOTE]
