That was my feeling..... smaller cards ( within reason)  = less likelihood
of losing it all with one burp.... or theft, or goof up.

Yes, they take up more space, but the cards are tiny.. so what if you have
an additional 3 cubic inches of cars in your luggage/carry on?

Backing up to a computer implies taking a computer on that vacation, with a
big HDD..... or 1- 2 external HDD.  I think this would be  a lot more space,
weight and hassle... 

YMMV.  ( and I am not as experienced in these matters as most of you out
there...)

And what happens if you loose one of those 64G cards, or maybe 2 of them?  I
shot close to what you expect to take, using 2G and one 4G cards last year
on my trip to Europe.  I down loaded to my computer every night, plus a
backup drive.  I found this worked very well, took only a few minutes, and I
did not have to worry about loosing a ton of images.  I would expect the M9
to use the same size SDHC cards as the M8 does.
