I'm going to be going to italy for my honey moon in april. I plan on taking an insane amount of photos. but am wondering what the best method of saving the images is while traveling. I don't want to bring my $2k+ laptop just to download images from my camera.

The options i am debating between:

1) Buy lots of CF cards.
pros: ability to store the images in a compact manner until i get home
cons: I'll never need that many CF cards again, I can't view the photos other than on the LCD screen of the camera until i get home

2)Buy a photo viewer/harddrive.
pros: ability to store and view photos
cons: pricing start at about $300 for an 80 GB version.

3)Buy a netbook.
pros: ability to store and review photos, has many other uses besides just photo storage that could be handy on a trip.
cons: a bit large, and i also don't "need" another laptop

does any one have another option i might be over looking or any info to share on this topic?
