I would flip my 3 week trip to Florida where my best friend lives, since I live in Colorado and have only met her once before. Plus the first time meeting my boyfriend down there to. We plan on going to a lot of different places and one of them is the Munchies 420 Cafe which seems oddly interesting. Plus since I am working on my photojournalism major I would be doing more traveling in the future and would love to capture the experience since I only have a big bulky camera that I don’t even own but am borrowing from a family member. I have seen people on youtube promote flip and would also like to use mine to branch out on there as well since I’ve wanted to since 2006. There is just so many things I want to use the camera for and I want to take it all over my travels.

Our family is going to use it to save our Hiking moments. We have fallen in love with hiking as a family. A different member in the family picks a place located within 100 miles of our home and we go hike. Would have been great to have this on our last to hikes to The Aztec Caves, and the Hueco Tanks national park.

I just sold my old VHS recorder to a little old man up the street. I would love a small compact recorder, other then my 30 sec cell fone video, to take with me on the go. I am a busy mom of two busy kids. I can keep something that size in my purse and not miss a moment of the fun we have together!
