Actually, travelling is where digital has made the biggest difference.
No more worry about film being zapped or exposed to heat, much less
bulk in the bag etc. With my Leica outfit I carry 2 SD cards and two
spare batteries (pretty small) and a compact travel charger. That's
it. Much less bulk and much more convenient than when I was trekking
around with 10 or 20 rolls of film in the bag as well.
And yes, I do normally take my laptop with me, but not because I
photograph digitally--rather, to keep in touch with e-mail, browse the
web etc. I did that also when I was shooting film.
