    This is almost mine as well. Mine has a few more pockets in it. I usually keep my laptop/earphones/snacks/drink in there. I just picked it up before my last trip. My old one was falling apart, so I'm having to re-do everything in it again.

    I like that Wynn bag too lol. Biggest issue this trip is keeping the 35MM camera safe. My current actual camera bag is actually too small for the camera & extra lenses. For some reason no one took a hint that I wanted a new one for Christmas!

    I did find this one - anyone use anything similar to this?? See pic below - my posting was not working well.

    Just doesn't look like it has a lot of pockets in it. And I do always split my insulin between purse & the tote or bag I bring on.

    We go for long trips, so I actually pack a decent amount of wine in my checked bag.

    Soooo, I bring a rolling tote for my carry on to carry some of my clothes etc. Light, easy to carry, and I throw it in my suitcase for the flight home, as it is pretty compact when empty. The below is pretty close, but mine is just all red.

    I have a little coach skinny mini I wear around my neck when playing, but on traveling, I like my luggage to be pretty non-descript/not super expensive looking.

    For traveling...

    A pelican case. Once in the air my wife will use it to put her feet on it as her feet don't fully hit the floor and puts a strain on her lower back.

    Does she cut foam into defined segments or just fully pack & use foam to cover?

    IMG_1973.JPG I have been using the same light backpack that I stole from my sister since she worked at Abercrombie in the late 90's! It's perfect for flying - very lightweight but enough to carry my MacBook, headphones, and even a change of clothes if I'm going for a single overnight trip.

    I took a gamble and bought the one from Walmart. 39.99 + tax with free shipping. I actually think it will work OK. I had about four coworkers ready to grab it and run LOL. For this trip, the cheap price became the determining factor. I really love some of these other ones and likely will get nicer one soon. This one does have a nice flat bottom where I can put the camera supplies, just need protective covering. Don't really want to take the whole camera bag inside of it

    I've used the American Tourister Atmosphera II overnight tote several times when flying on Spirit airlines. It is small enough to qualify as a personal item (no baggage fee). It measures 15"x14''x8.5'' and I can easily pack enough clothes for a a 3-4 day Vegas trip. It fits under the airline seat with no problems. It also has wheels and a retractable handle. You can buy one at WalMart for $39. Last time I used it, I packed a pair of jeans, a pair of slacks, 4 short sleeve shirts, a couple of t-shirts, swimsuit, tennis shoes, socks, underwear, belt, shaving kit, camera and some other miscellaneous items.

    That is the best one I ordered. Let me tell you, everyone I worked with wanted to steal it lol. I still need something to keep camera wrapped in inside. I still hate my camera bag & don't need extra lenses this trip. So I'd like to just take camera itself inside.
