I know I will probably get a ton of different views here...
I am wanting to finally ditch the wheeled bag....I realize it is heavy and takes up valuable space.
I will be travelign with one carry on and one personal item my camera bag. I know I will have to probably check it on one flight but the rest of the trip should be no issue.
I am debating between:
Tom Bihn: Areonaut (love how sleek it looks when being used as a backpack) and Tristar (I think the tristar might be a bit small for a three week trip)
Red Oxx Air Boss or sky train (leaning towards teh air boss because of teh different comparments, but I have heard the backpack straps are more bulky)
Also I have heard about the MEI as well.
I have thought of the rick steves but to be honest based on the picttures I do not like the look of it as it does not look as sleek
any thoughts?
