The Mind Boggling World of Digital Photography

I went the completely opposite way. I still have and use digital, but the sheer volume of digital pics I have is overwhelming. I can't print them all, and for the most part they are confined to external drives. I'm using a lot more film than I used to ( again, I went through this a few years ago and now I'm back) I take less photos, but they turn out a lot better, and they feel like real photos, there's all the expectation of waiting for the roll to be developed, and I print all of them. the result is I have real photo prints, instead of photos in a hard drive, and far more satisfaction. I still use digital though, can't beat low light digital files. But I get more satisfaction from film.

I'm making my film comeback this year. I just ordered some D76 and Kodafix. I already have lots of Xtol and Dektol and a chest freezer full of film in various formats that will last me the rest of my life probably.

I'm not sure if I travel much lighter as my camera bag with all the lenses and SLR has now been replaced with a backpack that carries a laptop, iPod, tablet, various and sundry chargers, and a pair of noise canceling headphones. However, photo taking sessions when I get where I'm going are much lighter and easier.
I still take photos as if I'm using film. I really don't think I need room for 6000 exposures, but it's nice not to worry about running out of film part way through a vacation day - and no film stores nearby.

I wouldn't go much bigger than that anyway personally, you never know when the corrupt media hammer's gonna fall.

Having said that, I couldn't resist a 32GB the other day as a second card.
(I also picked some decent branded 4GB's they were dumping at £1.38 each)
