I've been travelling for a couple of weeks. Portland. Seattle. Manchester. Had a great bunch of stuff to post. But I left my trusty camera in a hotel room. And though I called the hotel from the airport, not two hours after I'd checked out, it had already disappeared. That's how it seems to be with hotels. If you leave anything behind, then your forfeit it. It's like a tax on forgetful people. Fair enough I suppose.
Anyway, I plan to buy a new camera tomorrow. So maybe I'll get a blogging head of steam up again.
russell...so sorry to hear about your camera loss. It's not the thing itself but the memories and stories that were contained within. And those are irretrievable.
So get out and fill up that memory card with lots of good stuff.
(ps--while I was writing this post, a Nike commercial was on TV: the morphing basketball shoe advert).

thanks for the thoughts, actually it was relatively memory-free, mostly photos of the hotel which 'lost' my camera.

That is seriously annoying! You should really pursue your case with the hotel manager or the better business bureau of the area - stuff doesn't just "disappear", and expensive items in particular!
That being said - it could also be covered by your travel insurance?
