Missed Photo Opportunities

Why do things break at the most inopportune times?  On the first leg of our honeymoon, in Dublin, Ireland, we lost the use of our little Canon camera. Boo.  Sure, we have the giant SLR Nikon D60, (which is fantastic!) but you just can't take that everywhere. It's way harder to take a self shot with one of these things and handing it to someone else to take a photo, well, I would say it's probably comparable to leaving your child in the hands of a babysitter for the first time.  Trying to explain how to use it to the poor passerby is a nightmare.  I serioulsy need to call around to find a camera repair shop that can fix my camera so that we can continue to capture the smaller moments of life.
