I know it's a bit of a how long is a piece of string question, but wondering if I need more sd cards...

Currently have two fast 32GB cards, but not sure if I should get a third. In the past I would have been fine with that, but with shooting more in RAW, I can't help but think I will run out.

It's a two week trip to Costa Rica, so I am likely to be taking many, many snaps of flowers, hotels, insect birds, mammals, etc.

I don't really want to spend more money on stuff for photography as have spent a ton this year, but don't want to run out of space either.

I do have another 32GB, but it's pretty slow, plus two 16GB which are average in speed.

Should I just rely on those should I need them?

I was thinking of having two 32gb usb sticks to backup to, and leave the contents on the sd cards as I use them up, this way always having two copies.

Backing up would have been easier on laptop, but I don't want to take it with me.
 
Think will go for a spare fast 16gb and leave it at that.

80GB worth of photos in two weeks? That should do, but if I really need to I can fall back to the slower cards.
