Travel backpack report

I purchased the Peak Design 45L travel bag for an upcoming 14-day vacation.  I’m hoping to pack clothes, shoes, medicine, everything in this one bag.  I don’t want to schlep a roller bag up and down stairs, across cobblestone streets, over curbs, etc. 

I want everything convenient and one bag forcing me to travel lightly.  I’ll provide a full after-action report upon my return.
