I have a Casio EX-S500 and traveling to Italy for 2 weeks. I have a 1GB card right now but I know I'm going to fill that up pretty quickly. What is the best solution? Buy more memory? Bringing my laptop is the last resort.

Taking a laptop with you is not my idea of a holiday, and because you're only going for 2 weeks, I suggest you just buy more memory cards.
With your camera, you can shoot approx. 320 photos (with a 1GB card and using the highest quality resolution).
I would allow an absolute minimum of 100 photos per day (more or less, depending on the weather or conditions).
Thats approx. 1400 photos.
You already have 1GB...so I would suggest you just buy 2 x 2GB cards.
A total of 5GB will allow approx 1600 photos. I think that would be more than enough.
If you need more memory...you could easily buy an extra card in Italy if you have to.
Delete all rubbish shots to save card space.
Keep 'movies' to an absolute zero or minimum (or save a 1GB card only for movies).
Don't forget to flip the write protect switch on your full memory cards to prevent accidental deletion of your photos.
Hope you have a great time...

Even in the smallest villages of northern france I found a photo shop which had a card reader that would transfer your photos to a cd for a fair price. I want to say about 5 euros per cd. At the very least, I would bring a data cable in case they can't read your particular memory card. Also, I like to have 2 cards at all times even if 1 of them is small. You just never know what could happen.

Purchase a SmartDisk FotoChute 20GB Digital Photo Storage Unit. From what I understand it is compatible with most cameras. I live in Europe and a friend of mine has one and she loves it. I just haven't ordered mine on line yet.....I will, it is a great little device. I saw them at Amazon.com for about $140.

Bring you camera cables and down load them to a disk..most internet cafe's have the capability of this or you can download them and email them to yourself. just make sure you shrink them before you email them.
