Digital photo "download stations"?

Hello,
I'm a newbie reading your posts with great interest and hope this question
will not be too off topic:

We are planning a trip to California, Nevada and Arizona this spring and
expect to shoot a good deal of digital pictures. The xD-Picturecards we are
going to use are fairly expensive, so it would be a help if we could have
our pictures burnt onto a CD-ROM now and then.

Would any in this group know whether this generally is possible?

Find the local Wal-Mart. Even the small ones in the little rural towns
have the capability to burn CD's and they consider it a one-hour
service.

A cheaper solution may be to bring along a USB reader for the XD card,
and
use free public computers, at places like libraries, to e-mail or ftp the
photos

Do you have any idea how many *hours* it takes to email the contents of
even
one 256 MB card on a typical 56 Kb connection, which uplink at half that
speed?

I've never seen a library that uses dial-up for their public computers,
though I'm sure that there may be some out there somewhere.

Are there any libraries (or anything else other than a private home or
really small business with a computer in the back for staff use) in the USA
or Canada that use dialup modems?

yes I work at a kinkos and we have this great sony picture station
which
allows you to burn photos onto a CD rom (we also sell the CD rom as
well)
you can also do it in reverse (print from the CD rom)
check
http://www.kinkos.com and use the locator service to find your closest
kinkos.com
(I used the sony picture station to burn some photos of my g/f onto
the CD rom it was neat

Thank you very much for all your kind input.

I've made a note of a Tucson and a Phoenix Kinko's, and if that fails, we'll
look for Walmart or Walgreen.
