    Where did your TB bag go lately



    Spent nine days in New York visiting friends after WWDC in San Jose. Four of those nine days were spent in Damascus, PA, at the weekend home of a friend.

    I like this photo because it has all the stuff I love and use for travel:

    1. My Montbell Goretex hat (my wife calls it my Paddington the Bear Hat).

    2. My merino wool Icebreaker Tech-Lite tee.

    3. My Tom Bihn Synapse 19 backpack in Original Halycon.

    4. My Apple Watch 2 with the Milanese strap.

    5. And the thing taking the photo, my Fuji X-Pro2.

    Oh, and hidden behind the backpack, in my hand, my red iPhone 7 Plus triggering the Fuji app's remote function.

    Damascus, Pennsylvania is about three hours away from New York City. We are near the border of the state line between Pennsylvania and New York State.

    Nearby is the town of Callicoon, that sits on the New York State side. I swam in a lake nearby, and attended the annual Callicoon Tractor Parade. So much fun.















    I also got to visit Woodstock, and the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. It was groovy.



    It's all very different from being in Manhattan, quieter and surrounded by trees and birds. The silence was peaceful and lovely and I slept better.

    I did this 15-day trip to the US (San Jose-NYC-SF) with just a Tristar and my Synapse 19. Worked great.

      Nice hat! It really does look like how I remember Paddington's hat, and it's so appropriate with your username--didn't Paddington live with the Brown family?
      I have a bunch of great bags. Favorite color combos include Aubergine/Island, Navy/Solar, Forest/UV, Original Halcyon/Wasabi, Cloud/Viridian... and now also Seapine/UV!

      I've fulfilled my dream of palindromic-colored nested bags! Navy/Ultraviolet Pilot with Aubergine/Island Side Effect inside: blue purple purple blue. Forest/UV A45 with Aubergine/Wasabi Co-Pilot inside: green purple purple green.

        Thank you! Yes, Paddington did indeed live with the Browns LOL

        The wife called it my Paddington hat when she first saw me wear the same hat in another colour, when I was hiking in Yamagata, Japan, last year, for work. Hahaha!

            Paddington's chronicler embarked on a longer journey today. He was 91. Godspeed, don't forget the marmalade sandwiches!

              Here's the Paddington I got from Paddington Station. He's a very good traveler.

The A30 pcbp is mine, the teal tote is the dogs stuff, black running backpack is the bfs as well as the khaki duffel, bf's mum is traveling with us as well, the suitcase is hers and the beach chair. We are going for 6 days to Galveston/Houston TX. Fun noodle is mine ;-)

                    The Sidekick looks like a great product. Don't have one but your pictures tell the story!

                        Recently got back from a trip to the Grand Canyon, LA, and Las Vegas. I used the Aeronaut 45, Synapse 25 and my wife’s DLBP. It was my first using the DLBP and I was super impressed. Really comfortable and holds just enough. I’m eyeing up a burnt orange one for myself :)

                        I used the Synapse 25 as my personal item and hiking. Such a versatile bag.

                              Great pics, but that 3rd pic is particularly awesome ... background worthy!
