Question

Hey guys,

I was just about to buy the 2003 Dana Design Far Flung, on sale at Amazon when I realized that it might be too big. It's 3800 cu, which didn't seem so bad when I kept hearing so many ppl getting the Ultimate Explorer and other large travel bags, but when I converted it to liters it was around 62L!

I heard people recommending taking only a 40-50L bag to Europe, but also many people recommending Dana Design. My concern is that I'm only 5'2" with a small frame. Should I go ahead and buy the Far Flung or get a smaller pack?

ANY ADVICE WOULD DO! I'm leaving in about 2.5 weeks.
