Any good travel bags?

[Torontogal]

Not quite sure where to post this. I am looking for a good travel bag which can hold passports, camera, cell phone, IPOD, keys and other important items. Does anyone have any suggestions on what has worked for them.

TIA

My mom swears by her "Healthy Back Bag" from LL Bean:

Many on the boards seem to like the Baggallini Messenger bag:

My tried and true bag is one that I found several years ago in the travel section of Target. It was under $10, all black, a small purse-size backpack with multiple zippered compartments. It has an open pocket (on the side next to my back) where I can slide in park guides or a guide book, there are small net holders on each side, not large enough for full size water bottles though. It is comfortable to wear and doesn't get too heavy. I haven't seen it at Target lately but I did see it at two different Walmarts, in one it was hanging as a separate display in linens (??) and in the other Walmart it was with the luggage stuff. And I beleive it was $9.99. I believe the brand on the tag says Easy Pac, but I can't find it by googling. It is small enough that I can sling it over one shoulder with no problem. I take it off on rides and stick my foot through a shoulder strap to keep it secure. If I carry a bigger bag it gets too heavy for my bad back. It will NOT fit our four big Mickey ponchos but I CAN carry the small cheapo disposable ponchos for our family.
