I'm looking at this bag... Eagle Creek.. Ultimate Explorer .. or something like that and feeling ill. Not only do I have to compress 6 months worth of stuff down into 20 pounds, but then I will have to carry those 20 pounds for 6 months.. Well, at least I'll lose weight pretty dramatically :-)

Little did I know that we wouldn't be carrying 20 pounds per bag but 20 kilograms per bag!

Backpacking is great and contrary to Gautam's comment, Smruti and I traveled to Ireland and Scotland with a backpack for a few weeks and she did a STELLAR job packing and carting it all around.
Dev--not sure if you'll lose weight since there's sooooo much good food to be had but maybe the pack and the rich food may cancel each other out.
Enjoy and maybe I'll meet up with you all at some point along the way...
Happy trails.

Yeah right! I've known Smru her entire life and I've NEVER seen her pack into a bag this small!

think about it this way, it's good sympathy practice being pregnant;)
