the backpack

What do I want? a big pack? a small pack? a heavy sturdy pack? a light flimsy pack? an expensive good quality pack? a cheep affordable pack that will do the trick? what color? what brand? how many pockets? looks or comfort? Is there one backpack that I will be fully satisfied with? Am I just too fussy?

The North Face Terra 40

I bought this one a few weeks ago, was told to try it out, pack it up with stuff i will need for my trip. I guess I didn't mention how long the trip was for...I still don't even know myself. It was only a 40 litre backpack, but a very good quality north face pack. It was 140 bucks plus taxes. it could fit 5 t-shirts, 1 rain coat, 1 hoodie, 1 pair of jeans, some socks and underwear, bathroom junk, a few pair of shorts, and then i realised, wow it could be all i need but, what if i buy stuff over there. so I quickly decided to return it. Need to keep searching, possibly EBay or other online stores for something near the 150-200 bucks with shipping included.
The hunt is on

Introduction

Hello to Family, friends and to fellow readers.

My name is Patrick Arsenault. I am a bilingual english and french Acadian Canadian who is 24 years old, has 2 older and much more mature brothers, Mike and Nick. We were lucky to of been raised by 2 wonderful parents, John and Claudette. We are from ''la region Evangeline'' that is situated in Canada's smallest and most relaxed province, Prince Edwards Island.

Approximately this time last year I had a dream... and in that dream I was off on an adventure of a lifetime, but where? After a few years of college, last summer, I received my Red Seal license in Automotive technology. Currently I am working at a GM dealership in Summerside, I came to my spidey senses and realised. I know what my future holds if I stay here. Is that what I want? And I kept thinking, I am not ready to settle down just yet. Why don't I live that dream I once had, what better time then now? I don't have any kids, any wife or girlfriend. Nothing is holding me back. What better time then now to go out on a solo adventure in the Great land of Oz...



p.s. gi'me a break on my weak writing and blogging skills.

I am currently in the planning stages of my Adventure. If all goes well, I should be in Australia early April, stay tuned for updates...
