Chrome: Yalta, Re-visited

The Yalta from Chrome's new travel backpack line accompanied me in a trip back to the mid-west for the holidays.  It was a short trip supposed to last four days, ended up being six because of the snow "storm" on the east coast.  I originally packed the main, large compartment of the Yalta with four changes of clothing consisting of t-shirts, socks, underwear, and the usual hygiene instruments.  The side zippered compartment held a small sketch-pad, idea book, Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Anti-Christ," and American Arts Quarterly.  With all said inside, there was ample room left so a change of pants, gloves, scarf and long-sleeve shirt were added.  Philadelphia International Airport went smoothly, the Yalta fit smoothly into one of the plastic bins for x-rays, making the bag unquestionably a carry-on.  Riding coach can be a bit of a squeeze even without a carry-on sitting at your feet but the bag fit nicely under the chair's storage space.  For the travel back I grabbed some books that I had forgotten at my parents house in the move from Wisconsin and literally crammed the Yalta with as much as it could take, some large and some small.  In total, with all the clothing and newly acquired presents, I managed to get sixteen or so books to fit!  Making the bag quite heavy but still manageable.  Carrying the Yalta must have been good luck too, every time I have ever flown, the airport security has bestowed upon me the privilege of being searched but not this time!  I had many chances for them to search me, being that we had three flights cancelled and a fourth that finally flew out two days after the intended date.  We also were given a first class flight in exchange for our several cancelled seats!  Next time I travel, Chrome's Yalta is most certainly coming with me.
