“Last week we took a trip to Playa Del Carmen in Mexico for a friend’s wedding and assorted South of the Border fun. With many miles to travel and a full agenda, who else would be my second-best traveling companion? My wife is #1, of course, but my Brain Bag is a close #2!” – MagicTiki

“Another trip, another post. Can you tell I love my Western Flyer?!

I’ve just done my first trip as a (part time) grad student to attend a research conference. It was in Ballina, a beautiful river / beach side town in northern New South Wales”

“Wow! 24 hour delivery, now that’s service! OK, I live in Seattle but still didn’t expect my new order to arrive quite so soon

I just got my Side Effect in Plum and I love it, I can put everything I need for a walk and then some inside. Also, I ordered the Ultrasuede Shoulder Strap Wrap for my Small Cafe Bag and it’s really nice. No more sliding around on my rain jacket. And of course, had to get another mini Clear Organizer Wallet because I love accessories. (Did I mention the mini is perfect for our metro Orca card?)

I already have an older Buzz Bag, Small Cafe Bag, Swift In Cork (even though I don’t knit), and various small accessories. I use my Swift for needlepoint and its accompanying paraphernalia.

All these bags are great; I use them all the time and for everything. Thanks again!!”

“During my visit, we headed to where the Beatles were discovered by Brian Epstein here in Liverpool, the Cavern Club. One of the Beatles holy ground sites, I was thus informed. This is actually a reconstruction using the original bricks. The acoustics were amazing. And, yes, that is a John Lennon tribute singer in the background. We had just completed a Beatles tour around Liverpool (my fiancé is a Scouser and lives here.)

The bag [Small Cafe] itself was absolutely wonderful in our daily treks around Liverpool. I had a Mini Organizer Wallet with ID and cash, and a Mini Organizer Pouch with spare batteries for the camera. The bag held the camera beautifully, and it withstood the rainy weather quite well. Nothing inside got wet at all!”

“What a difference a month makes. This past weekend my wife had to bundle up for her walk to the park. And with a bulky coat on, that meant accessing the Side Effect as a waist pack would be tricky. So she attached the shoulder strap instead and headed out to see the city’s leaves changing color. I thought this photo, contrasted with the earlier one, would do a good job of showing the bag’s versatility.”
