Wow...ok, from all this talk of Vegemite, I grabbed some from an online place (damn that was hard to find!)... GOOD GOD! How can you eat that stuff? Isn't it child endangerment to give that to kids? It should be! My neighbors dog now avoid me whenever he sees a little jar in my hand. Even he didn't like it, and I've seen him munching down on his own ****. Can't wait to get me friends with it though! ;D

Mel, I'd be wary of the "cheap" bags. Wheeled bags are usually a bad idea though, in many places in Europe (and many places in America with bad roads *grumble grumble*) the wheels would just bounce around on either the cobblestones or the potholes, so you'd just pack it on your back anyway. But that could just be me. The Eagle Creek bags are the best I've found, and if you keep checking some of the bigger sites (assuming, like me, you don't have a good place to buy backpacks in the area) like Rei.com you can usually find the Continental Journy bag (what I have, and it's great!) for ~$100 during their sales. Good luck!

Libby, I've got one of those when I ditch my car and walk around Downtown, and it's the best! Excellent find! Mine broke though (some hobo tried to grab it and run) so I might be ordering from them also...
Edit: ooohhhh never type when tipsy from beer...

As Eagle said, your most important factor is your torso size. That said, I've found the Eagle Creek bags are excellent.Eagle Creek, however, is hard to find (in South Florida at least). Most places (i.e. Sports Authority) carry the North Face line (which is good). I'd suggest going to a sporting store, finding one that fits you good (even if it's not the one you want) and loading it with some weights from the weight department. This is what I did before buying mine (I bought mine online). Even though you'll probably get funny looks and have to explain what your doing, the store should be fine with it. ;D Good luck!

Only 1 extra for Will? I don't think that's enough... If you want the REAL Will experience, take a few more! ;D

BACKpacking...you know...packing things on your BACK.... ;D I could see the collapsible bag if you plan on bringing lots of things home (and the fact you'll be at friends most of the time)....but a suitcase??

Hot pink? My sister'd love that one! Anyway, I have a hunter green 2003 model, more than big enough for me. I've heard good things about the 2004 (and seen them in other colors), but I got the 2003 on sale a few months ago. ;D

Cool, thanks. No worries if you can't list it, I'm just being a curious old man. ;D

Nicstar, if you have the time... Can you post what kind of bag you have and what you are packing? I've got a Continental Journey 2003, and I can pack 4 days of clothes in my bag without filling the daypack for souvenirs and whatnot (so with what I wear, I have 5 days, so laundrey every 5 days doesn't sound THAT bad). It just seemed kind of packed in, so I was just wondering what you were packing.

with book-style bags, the entire top will unzip, and it opens (lmost like a suitcase), which unveils your entire bag so you don't have to dig. Top/side openings are pretty much like your standard bookbag, so to get to something at the bottom, you have to dig to get it.

Casey, First, welcome to the board. Second, while I don't know about the 2004 pack, I just purchased the 2003 pack from the link Kim gave above, and it does have a 'raincoat' that hides beneath the main pack. It can also hold all the clothing you need, I just used it on a trip to Orlando for a week and I had all the clothes I needed, plus additional space. The link Kim gave is also the cheapest I've seen this model of any year. Enjoy, and again, welcome to the boards!
Doug

At home? I'm almost always in my sandals. Speaking of which, is it OK to be travelling around Europe in these? They look like these (no, they aren't Tevas, but this is the same design) I'd also bring a pair of sneakers of some kind. But I really want to bring these, they're so damn comfy! Doug

What do you mean by an electric suitcase puller? Like a motorized cart? An object you attach the the suitcase? What?

I was thinking about this one too, then just decided on a t-shirt and a pair of light shorts (that can also be worn during the day, if need be). Better than sleeping without a shirt, all the women in the place would be like and get no sleep! whoooo yeah I need some more coffee.... Doug
