Yeah you´ll probably want to make back-ups of your photos.. not a nice idea to travel for a long time, and lose all of them at one point!
USB flash-memory sticks are nowadays big enough to contain most peoples travel photos, there are at least 32 gigabyte ones, or now maybe even bigger and they dont cost a fortune anymore, either.
You can keep them hidden inside your clothes, where you have your passport and other valuables, for example. Very hard to steal, and very unprobable for both your memory cards and your USB-sticks to get corrupted.
So far I havent seen a device that could handle the simple copying of files from the cards straight to a USB-stick, so you need a laptop in between, but maybe its not far away at all, when such a device exists (or maybe I just havent stumbled across one, yet??)
A laptop-format USB harddisk is also surprisingly small, just bought one (160gb) and you can keep it in your pocket... but the same problem here, how you get the data copied without a laptop.
