The Tech
Tech changes so quickly, it's hard to keep this section up-to-date. Since our trip in 2012, the site Wirecutter launched. I highly recommend and trust their reviews. They have a great resource in: https://thewirecutter.com/travel/
Tip: Ask yourself -- do you need the best option or would the prior or budget pick be fine?
Tip: You'll need to decide if you wan a smartphone or a dumb phone + camera.
