Packing Up

I'm leaving tomorrow to visit the fam for awhile and got the ol' backpack all ready to go.

This is a swell backpack - The Professor and I have matching ones because we're adorable, and they've been with us all over Ireland, and through parts of Switzerland and Italy and work really well. The secret is that it's a backpack that opens up like a duffel bag. The folks are REI are geniuses, I tell you.

I usually take a backpack when I'm flying because I hate to check anything and it makes getting around quicker. You look a tad dorky, but what the hey. It's America. Embrace the dorkiness.
