it is impossible to look at luggage online (because you just remembered your previous bag is finally unarguably busted and you really don't want to travel with a bag with actual holes in it that are big enough for a cell phone, for instance, to escape through) when they always measure things in inches (which include all the funky extra pockets and probably that water bottle in the picture and maybe even the straps and what about all those triangular bags anyway) instead of in Gallons. Gallons are a measure of volume i deal with on a daily cereal-making basis and which i can easily picture; i think i need about three gallons of clothing and shoes and a hairbrush and whatnot for the holiday trip, which will be a week and almost a half. I bet i could get by with two. i pack awfully tight. But this is not the point. The point is that i have no idea how many sweaters i can fit in eleven inches. And so i cannot shop for luggage online. And this is frustrating because we have no rei store here and they have such pretty things only i don't know how big they are. and if i want Real Luggage instead of a Backpack from Target, which may just happen to be the case (hehe) ... my local options are annoyingly limited. i hate texas.
