Is this pack large enough for a multi-week trip through Europe? If not, any other recs for a large, comfortable, fairly light pack with multiple access pts?

Fred, it depends on what you intend to pack and how much you wanna bring back. I did 5 weeks in Europe with 2 of my buddies. Two of us had very large packs, but one of my friends brought a very similar GoLite pack. At the end of the trip, everyone's pack was full, except I decided to bring back a load of crap that I didn't need. If you keep it simple and stick to the basics (i.e. the good things in life such as a few simple gifts and some vino or olive oil and a limited amount of clothing) this pack would be totally fine for an extended trip. It is on the small side though, and if you aren't accustomed to traveling light, I'd definitely look for a larger bag.

This is more of a weekender pack. I would maybe suggest going with something larger.
