"One bag" travel, which bag is best?

ps.com... Dave Frightens Me wrote: I sometimes have to carry my luggage fairly long distances. For example, last year I had to carry two bags (one large checked backpack, worn in the back, one small carry-on backpack, worn in the front) from Istanbul airport to the center of town because my ATM card had expired just before the flight (who ever checks the expiration date on their ATM card?), I didn't have any other form of money on me, and the only bank that was prepared to sort me out was in the middle of town. Leaving aside the stupidity of the situation I'd gotten myself into, it was really no problem to do this - I just found some high ground, located the coastline, followed it, and a few hours later I was in Sultanahmet. Oh ****, that's a long way! Are you seriously telling us you only had one card? I have 3, plus a bit of cash at any time. ????? What bank is issuing ATM cards that expire? My ATM never does. And no need to carry more than one. I also carry a few Credit Cards that you can always use to withdraw cash. Some banks now put expiration dates on their ATM cards because they get too battered up over time. And it's best to use an ATM card instead of a credit card to get cash (unless of course you can't use the ATM) because credit cards charge a fee for cash and nowadays some of them charge interest from the day you get the cash instead of giving you a grace period.
