I used my Baggaleni last week (May 13th-May 22nd) and loved it. I used the big flat pocket that fits against your back (or side) to hold important stuff on the days I was switching hotels (an accordian type file with my flight info, resort info, DME, copies of AP and DDE, larger amounts of cash and travelers checks, etc). I used the big pocket in the middle to hold my camera, snacks, and mister fan, the Brita bottle barely sqeezed into the side mesh pocket, but it did fit. I had placed my ID, insurance card, AP, DDE card, room key, and credit card into one of those plastic wallet picture divider thingys and so it slid easily into one of the pockets in the middle section, I zipped my room safe key, extra batteries and memory card for my digital camera into the little zippered section just below my ID stuff. I placed a few dollars and some change into a change purse with a key loop on it and locked it into the pencil holder, then placed a notepad and pens in the pocket just below that. My laminated itinerary I placed in the sideways pocket just behind my ID stuff and the notepad and coin purse in its' own pocket. I still had several little divider pockets left that I didn't even use. Then I used the front zippered pocket to hold lip balm, face blotter sheets, a little makeup, small hairbrush, bandaids, moleskin, small bottle sunblock, and a small deodorant. Everything fit and my hands were still free. Oh, I also put a folded 2 gallon ziplock in the back flat pocket that fits against your back and put the baggaleni in it for Kali River Rapids to keep it dry, even though I had already waterproofed it before leaving home. On the days I carried my cell phone it fit into the other side pocket (on the opposite side from the water bottle holder). Cell phones are supposed to fit into the hidden pocket on the strap, but my cell phone was too big, so I used that little hidden pocket to stuff a poncho into, even though I never needed it. Anyway the Baggaleni held all my stuff with some room left over.
