Waterproof Backpack Giveaway

Anyone who has "liked" my Vagabonding Travel FB page (
http://www.facebook.com/vagabonding.travel?sk=app_190322544333196
) has a chance to win this sweet waterproof backpack from Overboard (it's brand new - US$70). I also carry one of these on adventures and love it!
Here's a review of the bag and the extremely simple contest rules.
Deadline is April 14th, 2012!

Both bags are sky blue, so if we ever hang out on the road, we're going to match.

Hey Colderby,
I carried mine all year, four countries, and loved it. Came in really handy in some heavy rains in Sri Lanka. Showing a tiny bit of wear, but it still seems to be waterproof. My only complaint is how linear they are, very long when unrolled, but I guess that's the case for any drybag with that type of closure.

Yea I like the look of it for sure and I am just wondering would it not be a bit awkward carring it along side my main backpack.
My main one is,

I am just a little concerned that I doubt I will have room to stuff the Overboard inside my Berghaus 65L ?

Unfortunately, it most likely won't fit inside.
Thanks to laptop and camera gear for work, I'm doomed to a two-bag existence now days.

I will most likely have two as well as I want my laptop with me.
I guess I'll find out one way or the other if i'm taking to much!
