The catchy business about this haversack job is that afterwards my London business cruise a la amphitheater clothes and business attire, I will be hoisting my haversack and biking beyond Northern Spain on El Camino de Santiago. What to do with the top heeled-shoes and strapless accouterments to the academic atramentous wear?
I arrested prices with UPS, DHL, FedEx and a bazaar baggage administration aggregation for shipment the biz clothes home.
