I ordered this bag looking for something that I could take on my upcoming cruise that was good looking (for what it is) and was light and on the small side while providing enough space to carry the necessities (which of course is different for everyone).  When it arrived I was surprised at the size, which was a bit larger than I expected from the pictures though I'm not sure why because I'm pretty sure I pulled out a tape measure.  But, I was willing to take a chance on this since it's made by a great company and I liked the accent color on the piping.  I'd like to note that many of the other "travel" bags sold by companies like Travelon (while very functional) are not offered in the range of colors that most Baggalini bags are offered in and this makes this bag even more appealing.  We shouldn't have to look 'blah' or frumpy in order to achieve functionality.  The bag is organized quite well with several different zipped pockets, including a main zipped pocket that could easily hold an iPhone, a point and shoot digital camera, your husbands wallet (if you're so inclined to carry it!), keys, medication if you need to carry it etc.  It also has a place to secure two pens which is a nice feature.  The zippers from the main compartment in addition to one of the front full-zipper compartments can be hidden under the flaps, a nice unintended security feature.  It also has a nice open big pocket on the back when you need quick access.  The thing that convinced me to keep this bag, not because there was anything wrong with it but because I wanted something quite small while away, was that it WOULD be great when I got back from vacation on trips into the city or where I'd be doing a lot of walking.  I love my Dooney and Bourke purse, but this is so much lighter and functional when I don't have the luxury of carrying the world around with me.  I hope to carry this on and off for several years to come.
