Anne, <BR>I have a 25x16x8 hard sided HEAD ( the people that make skis)bag that has the best set of wheeels I've found. Also has top and side carry handles , and a tab thingamabob to attach another smaller bag. Best thing is even though its hard sided it's lighter than my husbands soft side. Its made about 16 trips to europe with no damage . I like the hard sides as I frequently bring home breakables and I have never had any damage. don't know if they are sold online though

Anne - check out www.suitcase.com...we've used Hartmann luggage for years and they seem to be sold online at that site. My husband travels for work, and those are the only bags that he (or the airlines) can't kill. The H-studio luggage line amy have what you are looking for.

Anne: <BR>You might try putting the name 'travelpro' into the search feature. <BR>There are several threads with many wonderful remarks about travelpro luggage. <BR>I myself own the rolling duffel, expandable duffel and the carry-on case. <BR>They are so durable and for the price I don't see how you can beat it. <BR>Have a good trip!

I have a 26" Eagle Creek Latitude bag that I just love. Took it with me to France for two weeks along with a 15" carry on and it was perfect for my husband and I. It is expandable, a perk that I did use on our return to hold some of my purchases. They do have a web site and I believe that Magellans also sells them. Great bag!! Very light weight!!

<<Need suggestions for a new 26" suitcase.>> <BR> <BR>Don't get one. <BR> <BR>The worst piece of luggage made which is 22" or under is better than the best piece of luggage made that is 26" or bigger. <BR> <BR>In my opinion. <BR> <BR>And I always swear by taking a second piece of luggage in addition to the first - - I think it is reasonable that it be up to 90% the size of your larger piece - - and weigh no more than eight OUNCES when empty. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

I'd find out the return policy from the retailer. A recent poster said she'd bought a fairly expensive piece of rolling luggage, only to have it tip over and do other weird things once packed, and she was able to return it. <BR> <BR>Even the best suitcase might not suit you for whatever reason, so being able to return it is a plus.
