Over the weekend I bought my pack for my 3 week trip this summer to France and Italy...

It is the NorthFace Stamina 90, and I got it for around 215 after tax (USD)

It was the only one with a removable daypack, and I really trust the NorthFace name...

On another side note though, im starting to get a bit worried about plane ticket prices

I am flying from NYC to Paris and back on May 30th and June 22nd.

When I checked a month ago, I could buy the flight for 500 (British Airways)... Now its up to 600 and change! Should I grab these tickets as soon as possible, or do the prices go down? I know that it is the high season, which is why Im a bit skeptical on what to do...

Thanks fellow travelers! :cheers:

Before or after taxes?

1800flyeurope.com comes back with 445 before taxes, 557 after. They seem to have some very low fares, and my girlfriend just bought tickets through them, and they arrived, so at least I can assure you that they are reputable. They are also the guys who run autoeurope.com

Is that any better?
