Backpack, Hip pack, other?
Hey.. very odd question here..
I am trying to figure out what to bring besides my big travel backpack? Would anyone recommenda full daypack backpack? Has anyone travelled w/ one of the newer hip packs (that hold a decent amount)? What do you carry around the city?? Thx. Dave |

Has anyone travelled w/ one of the newer hip packs (that hold a decent amount)? What do you carry around the city?? I would avoid a bumbag, as it screams "I am a tourist". I travel with a largish daypack as my main luggage (because I like not having to check luggage), and carry a smaller lightweight daypack which folds down into its own pocket to use when walking around. I find it's large enough to carry a camera, snack, guidebook and bottle of water, and versatile enough that I use it often at home as well as when travelling. I think the brand I bought is called "Go", but Korjo also make one. Geodyne |

For that matter, so will his pants/shorts--they won't be cut in the seat like an Aussie's. And any labels on his clothing or pack--they won't be Aussie brands. And his accent. And... Unless things have REALLY changed since my last visit, it's OK to be a tourist in Australia--and to look like one, too. I carried either a daypack or a "field bag" (oversized bumbag), both, or neither, depending on the activities of the day or the particular outing. Oh, and occasionally a camera around my neck as well. Didn't stop me from having a good time, and somehow I escaped being tarred and feathered by the Ministry of Antitourism and its rabid lackeys. Bring what works for you. Nancy |
