Due to the great generosity of my parents (Happy Chanukah, Birthday and 1st Anniversary to us!), we now own backpacks! It feels like a major step in getting ready for the trip. We both ended up getting Osprey Waypoint 85 (the men and women's versions... although since my torso is about 4 inches long mine is actually an 82 liter pack). They were just redesigned and have all sorts of great features - slash-proof fabric, zipper covers, fun mesh secret pockets- the whole nine yards. It was a really hard decision for me between the 65 and 85, but when it came down to it, I think I would rather make a concerted effort to not fill the 85 rather than worry that that last pair of underwear are going to split a seam...In other news, Mike is jealous of my travel gear (my backpack is a lovely green, his is black, because girls like pretty things) and I got the most awesome travel hat ever. It is a tailored reversible bucket-y hat that is a cute green on one side and awesome brown plaid on the other (see above awesomeness).
