Getting photo's off a digital camera memory card without a computer?

I'm going on holiday soon and I want to go crazy with photo taking but my memory card is only small so I'll need to wipe the memory card everynow and then. The thing is that I don't want to take my laptop....

....So, the question is...is there a machine that I can just plug into the mains and then slot the memory card into it and the pictures will be stored on it? Like a mini external harddrive sort of.

Any ideas of any kind are appreciated!

you get these little portable hard drives, that will take read from the memory card and take the photos. then later you plug the hard drive into the computer.
