The camera isn't that important. Great photographers take great photographs with disposable cameras. Crappy photographers take crappy photographs with high end cameras.
If you have a camera of any type I'd say focus on that first. The joy of photography is (mostly) in the picture not the technology. If this is just a potential hobby, get the most out of what you have and learn how to take the best pictures possible in terms of composition and whatnot then let that naturally take you on to the next steps as you skill up. And if it turns out you're not really that interested you aren't out the hundreds of dollars for equipment you'll not use much.
So my recommendation would be to take a fast trip someplace with your current camera and do the best you can with it versus buying a fancy camera and using it at home.
