Thanks for the info - I had never heard of ABC but figured it was fine. But, did end up waiting to order because I thought it was odd that they wont tell you the shipping charges util AFTER you order? Glad I waited...wont do it now.
But the Ebay Baggellini arrived - it looks SUPER. And it has tons of pockets, inlcuding one that is agaist your back - so great for safety/money.
Thanks again!
I had a lot of luck using a small crocheted purse instead of a fanny pack. It holds approximately the same amount of stuff, but has a long strap that goes across your body. It's not a messenger bag (much smaller than that) but is worn across the body the same way. I got a surprising amount of stuff in mine! Plus, it's a more attractive alternative to a fanny pack.
(BTW, I got mine at Target. It was only about $10!)
Someone posted a link to these VERY inexpensive bags last night and I am ordering some ASAP!

I have a congenital back disorder and cant carry too much either. Waist packs actually pulled too much on my back. I started carrying the waist pack like a purse or across my body and that felt better. I think changing positions a lot was good - but that going across the back like that helped to distribute the weight. The nice thing about these is they are cheap (not out much $ and if you do like it can always upgrade later..) and not too big (so you cant be tempted to overload it..) (I also got a baggellini dirt cheap on Ebay..but think my DH will carry that more - or I will pack VERY lightly.) GOod luck!!!
