I will be travelling in Southern Spain, and Mallorca for 2 weeks(end of
March and early April) and am looking for reccomendations of what to take.  
I will probably be returning to this area again so seeing everything on 
this pass is not a neccesity.

I haven't been to Europe since I was a child
and lived over there, and have never been to Spain.  I currently have a
Nikon FM, a 28mm lense and the standard 50mm plus one of Vivitar's
better flash units.  At one time I had done a fair amount of
photography and got rid of most of my equipment, so I am not
to incompetent.

I would like to know if anyone out there has any suggestions on what
to take equipment wise.  I was thinking about purchasing the Nikon E-series
80-200mm class zoom lens, and a good hand held light meter.  I am interested
in some of the art and architecture left by the Romans, and some of the
Fresco art work, so I may be working indoors without flash.  Probably
use some of the 1000ASA films.  I was figuring on shooting about 15 rolls
of slides.  Does 1000ASA come in slides??  Any suggestions on what to take,
or leave home??  Also a good bag, preferably one that doesn't look like
a touristy-american bag that yells "Steal Me."  Finally is it better to
buy all of the film here, and take it over, or can I get some over there??
Also any suggestions on the leaded bags they make to protect film from
x-rays at airports??
