That's OK if you travel with a laptop, but not everyone does.
In your place, I'd be looking for one or more large USB flash
drives. They come in sizes up to at least 32 G now, and I
trust solid state devices more than ones with moving parts,
especially for travel.
Alernately, many tourist areas have shops that will burn
DVDs for you. Buy several 4 gig memory devices for the
camera. When one is full, take it to a shop and have
them put the data on DVD. I do that twice at different
shops for safety.
