This weekend I made an investment on a brand new state of the art backpack for my adventure to Borneo. Here I am all suited up with my things packed and ready to go in my 65+15 (litre) bag strapped to my back. Yep you got it, it's humungous, a total whopping 80L of backpack! I didn't realize it was quite this big when I bought it at the store until I brought it home, opened it up and the top of the bag just kept going and going. Anyhow, I shouldn't have to ever use the extra space at the top, I wouldn't be able to carry the extra weight anyways. But I think I did a pretty good job compressing 3 weeks worth of gear into my spiffy new backpack :) No more comfy bed (complete with husband to warm my feet), hot showers, blow dryers, flat irons, make-up and pretty dresses for me... it's time to rough it, well sort of, hopefully not too rough, hot showers are nice.
Only 3 more days til I leave!!

Another first post! I am sizzeling!! Rowena I have backpack envy! 80 litres of room, you could fit in there. You are right tho, pack only what is absolutely neccessary...and when you think you did, go through and remove half again! duct tape your feet if they get blistered...and lots of Fireball whisky is my secret to a happy hiking trip! Have a fantastic time with your sis, take tons of pics and post every chance you get! Have a blast!!!!
luv Jac
