does anyone know of where i can get discounts on a good backpack and some other traveling stuff?

also, does anyone know of anywhere to get the best plane tickets? i have done lots of research and have looked all over and feel that i am pretty prepared, but any help would be great.

I've got a pretty hardcore backpack for hiking and camping if that's what you're looking for. I think it's a North Face. Top and bottom open, side pockets, waist belt, all that good stuff.

It's a $100+ pack but I'd let it go for cheaper. Let me know if you're interested and I'll try to get some pics.

thanksNo detachable pack that I'm aware of, but I can't remember. The entire thing is waterproof and it has more storage space than a UPS warehouse. I'll try to get some pics tonight and I'll PM you tomorrow. :goodjob:

i really would like one with the detachable daypack but go ahead and send the pics and it maybe worth it.

do either of you know the cubic volume of the pack by any chance?

I believe it already happened this year but I hear great things about the REI scratch and dent sale.

Are you looking for cheap domestic plane tickets?

Well this doesn't help you as far as getting over there, but if you have to do any flying within Europe, Easy Jet and Ryan Air FTW.

It shouldn't be. I can't remember how much my flight from London to Amsterdam was, but I know I flew roundtrip from London to Dublin on Easy Jet and the flight was "free." I just ended up paying for the fees (I think around 20 pounds or $40). If you get them decently in advance, tickets are super cheap.

Plane tickets:
Honestly delta has pretty ok prices. Also try kayak.com - its pretty good.

Sign up for those frequent flyer miles if you're gonna fly much - its free and that stuff adds up!

I've flown twice internationally on free miles.
