I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but from what I can see, it will be a wonderful way to carry all the essentials needed when travelling.  When on shore days on a cruise, you need to carry essential items, but don't want the burden of a heavy purse or tote bag. I think this will fit the bill nicely (no pun intended).  The zippers and Velcro closures seem to be substantial and will hold items securely.
