Maria, at the moment I'm using a Travelpro I got at TJ Maxx or Marshalls, in conjunction with a Baggalini as my personal item (this one which was $40 there). It's not great, but honestly I kind of figure that I'd rather buy 3-4 $50 bags than a $400 one? I rarely check it so it's not really getting all that beat up, and I don't have particularly high requirements for what it's like (it has an outside pocket zipper, which I can fit my laptop into, but isn't meant for that, otherwise it's just a basic box). I'm much more picky about the shoulder bag (which until recently was a backpack)
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thanks, meara. I don't check it if I'm doing a 1-day trip, but 2 or more, and my liquids don't fit in a quart-size bag. So I check it.
I think I'll check out TJ Maxx/Marshalls tonight. I leave Wednesday for Nashville, and I can get one more trip out of my current bag, but the interior is destroyed, the handle is loose, and the add-a-bag clip broke off last year. That's been a hassle for me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
LOVE it, shrift!
Now I just need to think up something to ask.

I have a screw in the handle of my usual travel case that I constantly have to tighten. I need to remember to nail polish or glue it...but now that I'm thinking about it, it is at the apartment so I can't fix it now.
In moving news, we moved the cats about an hour ago. Noodle is hiding and no interested in being coaxed out while Miss Kitty is wandering around my room meowing. They are limited to my room for the short term...will let them have the run of the rest of the place later.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It seems like you're cutting it close regardless--what if your flight is delayed?
I know, but it is what it is.

Ha! "Ask anonymously" needs "(yeah, right...)" underneath it.
