Video conferencing software

Grandkids are going on vacation in a few months. The parents will be taking a laptop with built in camera.
We would like to be able to talk to them and see them using the laptop there and my laptop here or desktop unit with camera.
What softwhere can I use that will let me fo this?
Free software is always good! LOL
Will pay if necessary.
I would like to use the software a few times before they go away to amke sure it works. Nothing worse then buying something and having it fail when you need it or have to learn on the fly when you need it.
 
I ditched Skype if favor of GTalk inside Gmail. You don't need to install camera drivers or additional external software. It downloads a plugin for your browser and off you go. It is painless to install and works every time (for me, so far). The only requirement is that both parties must have Google account. But, who doesn't these day?
