While having a digital camera is nice, you can purchase disposables for everyone and get lots of candid shots of the vacation. Different types of cameras are fun too, like an underwater one if your group will be swimming or snorkeling or a disposable video camera for action shots. An added bonus with these are the fact that losing a disposable camera will not break the bank.
Plan to use these things, pictures and journaling – the week after you get back. Family time together one night putting all of the pictures in an album or making a computer slide show is fun and you can talk about the trip and future vacations too.
