Baggallini Expandable Tote Bag

I purchased this bag to take on a trip overseas. It's very lightweight but it's strong, has lots of pockets. It folds almost flat so I put it in my suitcase on the trip over, and planned to use it for bringing souvenirs home. I found it to be most useful as a day bag while we drove around site-seeing.

There are small pockets on the inside, I only wish that there were large pockets on the inside that mirror the ones on the outside. This would be a help to organize stuff.
