Over Memorial Day weekend.
Aw, how sweet of you. We didn't even ask you to post about it. ;)
How do they compare to ebags?
Actually I like ebags the least (seem heavier). The ones I finally stuck with are the expandable ones from REI. You can cram in a lot of clothed in expanded mode, then zip them down to normal mode and compress things quite a bit. (Sorry, Webmaster)
I always use packing cubes. I have some RS cubes and some Eagle Creek cubes. I prefer the RS cubes.
We also like the RS convertible bags. Unfortunately I won't be able to use mine this year due to an injury. I wish I could justify spending the money on the 20" roller bag, because it's set up the same way. I have several 22" rolling bags , so I'll have to make do with one of them.
