dylan Member Canada	# Posted: 6 Apr 2006 02:58:14 Hey all, Im new here. I have a question Im hoping someone can answer. I am going on a 30 day trip to a few cities in europe, and then flying to Mallorca to visit family. We are travelling between cities via train. My question is whether it would be better for me to pack my stuff into a suitcase? or a large backpack? Thanks D

A backpack is a lot easier to deal with than a suitcase when you have to walk a long distance or up/down stairs. Plus, you'll look more like you know what you're doing. Since you are Canadian, you will also be required to prominantly display a Canadian flag on your backpack, lest someone assume you're American. -Garron

I had a backpack which opened up like a suitcase which was fantastique! Just shop around bud . Have an amazing trip! Dannii x
