In The Bag

Yesterday I went shopping for a bag for my trip to Newport. I'm looking for a medium sling; not as big as a backpack sling though.

I have this Victorinox small sling that I've had for about 3 years which I love except for the color. It's now discontinued.
I had been looking for another small one for a while with no luck. I found a small black sling at Target for $14.99. It's there own brand, an Embark Mono Bag. This will be for everyday use and not for the trip. It's not on their website but it looks a bit like this one.


Later, I went the Sports Authority and found this small messenger bag that I just loved; it was only $20. It's a North Face Calyx. It's still not big enough, but I just had to get it.
I also bought this bag, a Nike Essential Mono. It's a bit too big for my taste. I could only find one bad photo of it online. It's grey with a bit of a pale periwinkle tinge. It was $33.


As I'm not completely satisfied with this bag, I'll be going to Dick's Sporting Goods and Eastern Mountain Sports today. I'll also be looking for a lightweight waterproof jacket for the trip as well as an everyday jacket for Spring.


Ciao for Now.

P.S. - Maria won her 2nd round match yesterday 6-3/6-2. She's playing Venus William this afternoon. Yikes! Heck of a 3rd round match! Good luck Maria! She's definitely going to need it.

P.P.S. - Here's a link to last night's TV Funhouse on SNL. It's a parody of Dora the Explorer. It was too funny.
