Last year I did 18 days in Europe with a Western Flyer (I had a 6kg weight limit).
Here's my packing list, if you're interested: http://www.tombihn.com/forums/showthread.php?p=18657#post18657

Both Canon S95 and Panasonic LX5 are VERY nice cameras. Their previous models (S90 and LX3) are also good and cheaper options.

I got my LX5 by Xmas and I'm loving it. Enough zoom for my needs and...

So nice to see images from a place in my country I like so much... :)

Rick Steves and Lonely Planet (already suggested) helped me the most when I went to Europe earlier this year.

I know what you mean by "After my first couple years of touring I was fed up with my large, bulky hardshell suitcases that required being checked". Almost 4 years ago I had the same feeling, that's...

Last Sunday I came back from Europe, it was my first trip there and my Western Flyer was my sole luggage for the 18 days.

Here goes my packing list:

The Western Flyer is my favorite bag! I hope it serves you well. :)

If the Icelandic volcano permits, I'll be flying to Europe in 10 days with my WF as a sole carry-on for 18 days. If it works out...

Thanks! :)

I just came back from Campos do Jordao, a city in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Temperatures ranged from 9-17 celsius (48-62F). It was a 5-day trip, here is my packing list:

Hi!

I cannot say anything about the Pre cause I've never used it, but I decided to chime in anyway, to suggest another option to consider :)

flitcraft: Hi! You said in your first post "The Tristar swallowed it all with room to spare" about your first attempt at packing (before trimming to about 15-lbs). Do you think your Wester Flyer...

Thank you, Darcy!! :)

It's beautiful!

Nice to hear that! :)

I'll be waiting for them!

Hi guys!
