Sounds like you are having a lot of fun with your new camera, Patrick. As Man said, though, I hope you are not planning on doing post processing on all those shots.
When we go on vacation, I usually go a little overboard on the number of shots I take, too. I will take anywhere from 800 - 1,600 shots in a week-long trip. In my film shooting days, I was more frugal, since it cost money with every click of the shutter, but with digital there is no cost. Therefore, it usually takes me a little time to sort through the photos to find the shots I like best, and then do the PP on those shots only.
