The Right Stuff

I seem to always be on the lookout for the right bag to pack my things in when I travel. I really don't like checking my bag at the airport, nor do I like schlepping around Europe with an overload of equipment (been there, done it). I just found a new one that I really like, has a separate bag on the front that zips on, or you can carry separately. The zippers are really sturdy, lots of pockets (that seems to help some, but when I have too many, I can't find anything!) It's California Pac and I got the 21" Diplomat. I figure if I can't fit it all in, I don't really need it, and if I buy things when traveling and bring back paintings I use a zip grocery bag with the paintings wrapped in wax paper that I always carry with me.

Now my friend, and fellow painter, Cynthia Rosengren, travels by bike everywhere here in Charleston (and may I add - she and her husband Dave just walked across England). Here is her solution to carrying her equipment. Smart girl.
