Who knew selecting a backpack wouldn't be easy, right? Well, I guess I am a little naive! Thinking this would take a simple evening online, selecting, purchasing, and waiting for it to arrive in the mail, I found myself on the start to a learning experience...Starting last Monday, one week ago, Mom and I spent the evening looking online for hiking backpacks. Quickly, I realized there are hiking backpacks and day packs in every variety possible. Automatically as any wise traveler off to a summer of air-flights, hopping trains, and other large use of public transportation would do, I went for the highest capacity, largest backpack within check-in requirement dimensions to be found! With hopes high and joy rising, I waited eagerly for the "most wonderful" backpack I had been dreaming of to arrive. Thursday afternoon my awaited pack had been delivered. To damper the spirits I found it to be much too spacious and framed for traveler more like six inches taller than I. This was just a bump in the road or in reality a blessing in disguise. Saturday morning I took my parents out for a shopping trip where we could actually try on the packs and found a magnificent bag (shown in the picture) matching my height for comfortability. So, the other backpack will be shipped back! Already, it is neat seeing God take care of my needs for the summer while learning lessons in patience. This pack is the perfect capacity, size and a bright, happy orange! Seven days away! I'm already loosing sleep with excitement!
