I'm travelling for 10 months, and will take a good amount of pro print film with me, and also purchase some as I go. The problem is, going through so many airports, and the heat, I need to either process and send home as I go, or just send home the unprocessed film canisters.

So, which is the lesser evil: Trusting a strange lab to process my film overseas, or send the canisters back through the mail, where they may be xrayed by the postal service?

Any experiences?
