Last time I checked REI had them on sale as well.

Anyway to prevent everything from getting wet inside? I was planning on putting my camera in the bag. I guess I could put the camera inside a ziplok bag. Anyone else notice this?
I have been debating whether or not to spray my bag with water proofing spray. That wouldn't make it water proof, but would make it water resistant and might help keep it from getting dirty. But then I'm not sure what would happen if I decided to wash it in the washing machine.
Ok I just took the plunge and ordered the Overland Donner bag from Shoebuy. Great price - total was $37.40!! I opted to get the picante. I wanted a bright color this time - it may sound silly but I feel like w/a bright color it will be harder for me to leave it behind or forget about it lol. Last trip I kept forgetting my black bag in the restaurants. I didn't notice it when I got up and kept having to run back and grab it It also looks like it is small enough to fit in the bottom of my mclaren stroller. I didn't want anything too big but need something that can hold a change of clothes for DD, water, sunscreen etc. for the parks. I do have one question - can this bag be worn messenger style? How long are the straps? And can it fit a Kodak easyshare digital camera? Thanks!

Here's a question for you. Have you found some sort of cover that can be used to pad the strap a bit? I find the webbing of the strap sort of scratchy on my neck and exposed shoulder and would like to cover it somehow. I know I could actually get out my sewing machine and make my own cover but time, effort, yada, yada. I MUCH rather buy something!
After much debate, I changed my mind and got one of the new colors for my Disney trip. It is the chocolate/blue floral combination.. I absolutely LOVE it! I haven't stuffed it yet, but did put my Passporter inside and it was so light and easy to carry around. I'm attaching pics for anyone interested...
Overland Donner Bag -- Padded Strap
Does anyone have suggestions for some time of padded cushion that could be velcro wrapped around the bags strap, that way it would slide and could be customized to each wearer's needs.
Thanks in advance
