We are on our way to San Francisco for our West Coast trip.

Stef called me yesterday to tell me that she was able to pack everything she needed in her Mountainsmith backpack. The pack (get link) is a larger daypack, maybe 800-1000 cubic inches.

Of course I took that as a challenge, so when I arrived home I got out my small Novarra (get link) cycling commuting backpack (about the same size) and started to fill it. It looked close a couple of times, but we made it work!

As you can see from the picture, we did rely on our mini Timbuk2 bags (get link) for one or two items.

But for a 9-day trip, we are psyched!
