backpack and stuff

i bought my travel device today. it is an REI backpack that holds 75Liters. Without anything in it it weighs 5 lbs and 11 oz. It has 5 compartments. It fits comfortably, but i haven't had to walk very far with a lot of weight in it. also i've become the owner of Teva sandals that have traveled to Israel already. the gear makes me feel a little more prepared, but only a little. considering i still have to pack everything, visit 4 different countries and travel on at least 7 different airplanes before i'm on the ship, it will be a while before i'm actually settled.
walking through a store today i couldn't help glancing around at housey items and wondering when i'll finally have a house that i can make into a home. not that i really know where i would settle down, but it's also unsettling wondering if i ever will. if i have a house, where will be? not just what state, but what country? meh. i know i've got a while before i have to worry about all that.
