Many thanks to the folks here for recommending Alpaka. I did a ton of reading here looking for a holy grail convertible tote bag to backpack for my new train commute and the Flow tote pack is the closest I found. I was worried 14L wouldn’t be big enough for laptop, lunch, and gym clothes compared to other 18-20L bags but honestly it’s been perfect. I really love all the thought out details. The exterior water bottle pocket also helps with making the bag feel larger than it is. It only took 2 days before the waterproofing came in handy when I spilled my drink and then also got in a rainstorm a couple days after.

this is honestly not an ad, I just really appreciated the info I found here and am super happy with my purchase so I wanted to pass it along.

I’ve been wondering what nationality the characters would consider themselves after all these years and places. I think Brianna would obviously say American because she was born there. Claire has spent more time in America than any other character, and despite being British seems to have spent very little of her life living in England. She uses the word “we” when referring to Americans. Jaime, Ian, and Roger get a little more complicated all being proud of their Scottish roots, but I don’t know how you could fight for a country’s independence and not feel that you are one of that place‘s people. What will Jemmy and Mandy say when they grow up? What do you think?
