"One bag" travel, which bag is best?

I had a medium-sized backpack (actually called a travel pack) whose backpack straps could be tucked away behind a zippered panel. Then it could be carried like a suitcase, or by attaching a shoulder strap. This pack didn't have any frame, neither internal nor external, but being smallish, it didn't really need any. It was light and comfortable. I don't think they make it any more. I got it from campmor, which has good inexpensive hiking and camping gear. (www.campmor.com). They only ship within the US though. -- The original Rick Steves pack is like that - you can tuck the straps in and carry it on the shoulder with a longer strap, or pull out the padded straps and wear it on your back. I have used mine for 11 years, both to Europe and domestically, my sister used it for Israel and Ecuador and my son used it for travel a half-dozen times in the states. The bag has held up well, looks as good as the day I bought it. It has perhaps held up better than I have, as I bought one of the small wheeled bags made by Victorinox last year, and have found it easy to use, especially with that swivel handle thing it has going on - it doesn't tip over. |

I also carry a few Credit Cards that you can always use to withdraw cash. King County Credit Union (Seattle area) - mine expires 7/08. Cahoot Debit Card - expires 01/08. JohnT |
