Will need access every 1-2 weeks to a PC with 2 USB ports to accomplish the transfer. Will probably send a thumb drive "home" periodically. My phone can not use SS cards.

If you come into wifi or 3g/4g range, you can use the Amazon Cloud app, 
which uploads your iphone photos automatically.

USPS processing equipment can cause the paper envelope to tear, which allows the SD card to slip out. Spring for another 35 cents and get a padded or reinforced mailing envelope.

That way, if the card gets lost in the mail, I still have the photos. If I had listened to The Bag Lady sooner, my Campo-to-Idyllwild pics would not be lost forever.
