The matching luggage that I have is saffron-colored, kind of sixtiesish looking design. There's a standard-sized suitcase, a small duffel, and a big suitcase that's got a sort of rounded duffel-type thing attached to the top -- hard to describe. If it also had a big suitcase and a rolling carryon, I'd be all set, but the company didn't make those.

I have matching luggage that I treated myself to when I went to London. I bought it at a discount store, and I don't think I paid more than $100 for the 3 piece set. I would rather spend more money on travel than that kind of money on luggage.

It's a cool bag, though. It's been a good morning becuase it started with a CUPCAKE.
Though, seriously, at the end of the week, I'm going to weigh 8554 lbs.

I have seen pieces of the luggage Trudy describes in thrift stores, but never a whole set. I have also seen the opposite, which is what I want-- hot pink outside, purple inside. I have only seen the make-up bag for that one though.
I have one suitcase, which was given to me by a work friend after it basically got destroyed after a trip to Italy.

I do wear hats, silly goose. But I would never put one in a hatbox when I travel.
I think your solution is obvious.

Oookay. Right hand tremor action. I just ate, so it isn't low blood sugar, and I'm pretty sure I didn't have that much caffeine today.
Apparently not even my right hand knows what my right hand is doing.

A very odd list - especially, I think, the museum membership and the exhortation to subscribe to some thinky-type magazines. I guess so you can fake having interests other than shopping?

I have a cheap matching luggage set, but where do I ever travel that I take more than one suitcase at a time?
I also have a rolling duffel bag, but it's huge. I think it's a good size for transporting a dead body. So at least I'm prepared for that.

sara, you should toss out the hardsided, when are you going to use that?
Should I go abroad for any period of time (not camping!) again, I'd use it. It's solid, not that heavy, and makes a good seat (oh & it has wheels and is well balanced.) The rolling monster has been used as a spare every xmas.
