Hey guys, as I just bought a ticket to Europe last week and leave in 2, so I haven't had much time to think everything through....here's the question. This is my first backpacking trip. Two years ago I lived in Ireland studying for 2 months, and this is the backpack I used for the trip
here But in addition to this backpack, I also had a small purse and a small duffel bag with other stuff in it, because I was living in an apartment most of the time and traveling only through Ireland on the weekends. So the situation worked out ok with this backpack. But now that I'm going for 2 months all over the place in France, Spain, and Portugal, this backpack seems impractical. It's not that big, and even though I'm an efficient packer and don't take the much....still...it's not that big. Plus, I regret that it has wheels...I can't see myself wheeling the thing down old streets and what not. Plus, will I look like a dork? But I don't know I can justify spending 200 dollars or more to buy a new pack just for this trip. So I don't know what to do. Also, I am debating about spending the money on a digital camera for the trip....worth it? I don't know if I can/should buy both!?!?!
Sorry so lengthy, but I would love to hear what all you experts think!!! Thanks and see ya in Pamplona
(possibly wheeling the dorky backpack?!
