living for months out of a backpack seems crazy. dont you get tired of lugging that huge thing around and walking all the time? [/ QUOTE ] This is why I like to set up a "home base" and take short trips from there. I have two huge suitcases and a carryon because I could be out of the US for up to a year and don't like living like a refugee. Of course this doesn't count as "backpacking," but it's an option to consider. |

There's some pretty big, badass ones, and you can fit a lot of [censored] in there.... most of it you'll never use, but you could, if you wanted. |

Cancuk,
Do you carry your knapsack on the plane? How much did you spend on it? |

[ QUOTE ] I will be getting a new passport before I leave, so I think I could show the new one to Israel hostile countries, and the Israel stamped one from Israel friendly countries. [/ QUOTE ] The government takes your old passport when you get a new one. DUCY? [/ QUOTE ] That's not true. Usually they just invalidate it and return it to you. |

Cancuk, Do you carry your knapsack on the plane? How much did you spend on it? [/ QUOTE ] What's a knapsack? Do you mean big backpack, or day bag? If it's my daybag, that goes with me everywhere and usually has most of my important [censored] in it if it's not in my underwallet. I don't know how much I spent on it. Just a normal smallish school-like backpack. |

So you carry a small bag with you at all times, and a big backpack which you check at the planes? This seems like the best idea, as I will want to go on some short 3-4 day trips in some places and don't wanna carry around my big backpack. However carrying around two backpacks will kind of suck. |

I got a new one in January and they kept the old one. Now how am I supposed to prove I've been to Portugal? |
