Novacks was truly wonderful in helping me find the essentials that I needed for my trip to Australia and New Zealand a few years ago. I learned that it is not truly difficult to travel light iwth just one backpack for a six week trip. I will be going back for another spending spree in the fall of 09 before I head down under again.
