Tip for Spring -- In our hectic lives (and as we get older) we find ourselves forgetting to bring something important after heading off on an outing.  My wife, Bonnie, and I journey to many destinations on our touring motorcycle, sometimes for five weeks or more in the summer.  We are both teachers.  Like us, you probably have several cameras, bags, and assorted photographic accessories, perhaps 50 pieces or more!  NOW, as Spring is blooming, gather all your equipment, film and memory cards.  Make a "Long" list and a "Short" list -- one for the long trip, and one for the day trip.  Make several copies of each list.  Keep a copy with you as you travel and a copy at home as a record for insurance.  Check your list twice -- a week before your trip, and just before you depart.  You will have piece of mind, and won't get caught short on the road when that one-of-a-kind picture opportunity arises!
