The backpack is the absurdly small looking item with that bright reflective strip on it. I'm pretty sure everything fits inside, but looking at it all laid out on the bed, it seems like a magic trick. That is a queen sized bed for your reference. That's it for the first post, now I can go ahead and send the address out to all you guys and gals. I hope you enjoy reading about our trip and I hope we find the time and opportunity to update this site frequently.
