We received "cheap" green "backpacks," and I have to say I'm quite disappointed. They have no structure and a sort of drawstring closing mechanism -- no zipper. It does not seem at all useful for an international trip. Was hoping for a school-style backpack -- something to use not only during the days on the trip but also as carry-ons for the plane. But there's no way we can use the green "backpacks" for that -- everything would be falling out all over the place. I'm looking forward to our first
ABD trip (next week) but was quite disappointed in the famous "box," which just included our itinerary and the cheap bags (for the ABD price tag, I was expecting everything to be high end).
