Travel comes first and then bikes and photography when it comes to disposable income. Bikes are much cheaper than photography though so it is good to have something for perspective.
I've been trying to talk my wife into pulling the trigger on the Canon 5D Mark II, mostly to make it hard to argue with my purchase of a vintage Merckx MX Leader (or something equally drooly) when the "need" arises (soon).
Sadly, I also bought too many toys last year...
