Got a camera

I bought a new camera today. It's a Panasonic DMC-TZ1 in silver. I love it! It's small and lightweight but has a lot of great features. It has a 10x optical zoom with an internal stabalizer that's awesome! It has a movie mode and some other modes that I may even use. I'll get the battery all charged up and take some photos and post them. It even has a macro that I will definitely enjoy using.

I also got a shoulder bag at REI (after returning the one I bought the day before yesterday because it was too big) that I'll try out tomorrow - pack it up with the stuff I'm going to take and see if it's a keeper.

I got a few more little things that I needed to get, like some prescription stuff for "just in case", and some postcards for the postcard exchange geo-cache and now I just need to get everything together in one place so I can do a trial run with the bags.

Side story not related to Prague -

Nick and Mark brought over Nick's new puppy last night but I was really tired and didn't feel like I was able to even enjoy her for a moment. She's really cute and even has her own MySpace! She is really really cute! Adorable even! It seems like Mark's big dog, Jake, isn't quite sure what to do with her yet. She's 6-7 weeks old, I think Nick said (I was tired and don't remember), and just a cute little handful. Jake is a big clunky chocolate lab with a heart bigger than he is and I'll bet he's just worried about stepping on her! Anyway, I'll post the link to her page as soon as I get an invite to be her friend!

Ok, back to Prague.

Work has been pretty intense the past few weeks and I haven't really gotten a chance to get excited about the trip yet. I am just about at the point where I can say that I have everything I need and whatever I forget or don't get together, I'll buy when I get there. Just gotta go gotta go gotta go.....

On that note, I'm off to bed.

Later....
