Some of the latest digital cameras have small internal memories that would be ideal for storing such info, and keep your normal snapping for the removable memory card. I travel a lot, and always take pics of signs of places that I visit, as it makes a good reminder when writing my diary or blog, especially good for people with not such a good memory for names, like me!! Having pictures of a toilet, taxis, airport, bus/train station etc., could also be handy if you don't know the local lingo, any picture transcends the language barrier better than the attempted spoken word every time!..........and, you can always use your camera to take lots and lots of pictures! :-)) Some great tips here, and I’d like to think that whoever found my lost camera, would return it if they found the reward flyer, but it’s rather unlikely don’t you think?

She wasn't laughing a few hours later when we needed to get back home and she couldn't find her map. I think these are great ideas!

So whenever I wanted to know the time, I would just take a picture of wherever it was that I was standing, and look at the time on the digital display. I ended up with quite a few amazing shots that way, of just generic streetscapes or diners in a cafe. When I went to France last year, I forgot my watch at home.

Helps me out, being the easily distracted, forgetful sort that I am. PS Loved the suggestions; taking a pic of the professor's note on the blackboard? Genius! And the ball/spaghetti combo idea? Well, maybe not that one...am I right? Up top, up top. Howssabout using the video function (if your camera has one) to record audio when asking for directions or other info?
