Backpacks and stuff

Three weeks from today is the day I am going to be in England. It feels so far away but still time seems to be going too fast. The three weeks we spend in Great Britain are going to be the most amazing weeks.

are of me and my love affair with my backpack. I got my backpack two weeks ago.
It is a Deuter Futura pro 34lt. I got it on eBay for ten dollars cheaper than the Deuter website. I love it. It will be a bit tight to fit all my stuff. but its a good size for me and very comfortable.

great company check! backpack check!

I must inform you about a pleasant change in our travels. My dear friend who I have known for half my life - a lover of Jane Austen who knows every song ever written, and can tell you strongly and passionately whether she thinks that song is frightfully bad or extremely good
is going to accompany us on our journey! Hurrah! 

Packing, treacherous business. How do I choose between my red ball gown or my purple. Oy vey! How does one choose? Maybe I'll just stick with some jeans this time and pop out the ball gown on another trip. 

We are looking for a backpack between 30-34 lt. We don't want to check any baggage so we are trying to keep everything minimalistic. A 30 or a 34 lt. backpack should be able to fit everything we need and still be a carry on. Carry-on is 45 linear inches  or (approximatly 22x14x9 in.) so if it doesn't fit we don't need it!
