    A few days ago, a friend of mine said "Hey, guess how many fingers I'm holding up behind my back."

    "Four," I said.

    "Nope, it's three," he replied and showed me his hand.

    I guess that makes me a liar.

    Uhh I'm going to Guatemala for a month doing volunteer stuff
    Don't ask why
    I felt like it

    Well, daypack has always meant to me a small hiking backpack. Something to hold a day's worth of supplies, like the name implies.

    I guess by "travelling backpack" they mean something smaller to take on the plane with you. I guess that one pack could serve both functions.

    It would have been okay if only I'd said "I think it's four" instead of implying that it actually was four.

    Now I have to go to confession and shit.

    That's pretty much "You're a liar because you don't believe me"

    No, that's "You're a liar because you're saying something that isn't true."

    No, it really isn't. He called you a liar. In other words, he doesn't believe you. You called him a liar for him not believing you.

    No, I called him a liar because he said I'm a liar and I'm not. Thus what he said is not true. Thus it is a lie. Thus he is a liar.

    I know this one! "Which door would the other guard say is safe?"

    That's right, I think...

    If on a checklist of things I need to bring on my trip, two of the things it says are:

    Daypack

    and

    Traveling Backpack

    What's what, and what's different, and what one do I actually have already?

    A traveling backpack is your home away from home. In it you put your tent, sleeping bag, clothes, food etc.

    Daypack is the smaller backpack you will be using if say, your staying a couple nights somewhere and don't want to drag your heavy traveling backpack but still need water/maps/whatever to keep you going for the day till you return to where ever you left your traveling backpack.

    Personally when I traveled I was a friggin turtle, my traveling backpack almost never left by sight/back. I knew going in that I would not be ditching my traveling backpack anywhere so I didn't bother with a daypack.
