Backpacks!

We bought backpacks on the weekend, I just wanted to share. They are so exciting, we got the same brand but Bevan's is bigger than mine. This way I can pack all my stuff into his bigger pack which he can carry and he can pack lightly into my pack which I'll then carry.

Only kidding, the packs are huge, I don't know how we would manage to fill them, especially since we are planning to spend about 99% of our time in Thailand in our togs or shorts and a t-shirt.

Anyway, it is very exciting to get a pack, I've been playing with mine heaps, opening it up, playing with all the little compartments it has, and thinking about all the cool little travel bits and pieces I can now buy to go into all those compartments.


Mine isn't that colour shown, it's black and dark green, whereas Bevan's is all black. When we were taking them home on the train on the weekend we knocked some people with them so I think that might take some getting used too... bit frightened about packed Thai markets...

Anyway, now all we have to do is wait until it's time to travel.... hurry up Christmas!

So true! I got the most excited once I got my back-pack So exciting! Now you can go out and buy all those necessary things - like toilet seat covers, and ponchos! Ask Sarah all about them! I think she brought them home with her after carrying them around for 2yrs in London! Although I think you will need the toilet seat covers more in Thailand than in England!

I was thinking I might just get some garbage bags. It's going to be that cold I'll be wearing every piece of clothing I own most of the time.

HEY!
I thought about using that emergency poncho once.. and the toilet seat covers might have come in handy..
Carly - don't think you are going to have any trouble filling the bag.. there's lots of handy stuff you can carry! :-)
