Argentina has ok internet but uploading photos will take forever, so forget cloud storage.
every hostel i went to people were using laptops, netbooks, iPads etc etc. Most hostels have free wifi also and never enough PC's

so either get enough cards to cover your needs or a cheap netbook to use as a backup and device to do bookings etc on the internet.

Jeepers, Yuma! You say you have two 16GB cards already. Check your "Getting Started" booklet or the online Canon camera manual. Each card will hold about 3,500 large format JPEG images, 7,000 total. Easier, just insert a blank, formatted card in your S100 and it will tell you exactly how many shots are available at the format size, JPEG v RAW, and aspect ratio you expect to shoot at.

If you're still thinking about your storage situation while in BsAs, check out Galeria Jardin in Microcentro. It's a mall with lots of shops selling computer stuff. Prices will vary from place to place. All in all, SA is not the best place to shop for tech stuff.
Also, in that area, be careful of pickpockets, birdshit scammers, etc (see SA branch if you don't know what this means). That pedestrian promenade attracts all sorts...

My iPod Shuffle is nearly waterproof : have gone thru the washing machine ..twice. Works fine after drying.
