Our backpacks wait near the front door for tomorrow's trip. We're strong proponents for traveling light, but we're bringing a few extra clothes this time because we won't be walking much more than a mile at a time with the packs. These 35-liter packs will still easily fit the overhead bins.

On Monday we'll meet our nephews, now 13 and 14, along with their mom and dad, at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport. We'll take off on a backpacking adventure in Southern Spain and Portugal.
