know I travel a lot, a lot.

And one thing I haven't had is a hard-sided carry-on bag or checkable bag or hard-sided luggage at all.

It's because I haven't found one that didn't weigh 10,000 pounds.

And when away offered us a chance to try their luggage, I said yes.

which is one of those things that's a must-have for me in suitcases,

And their bag doesn't weigh much.

It weighs less than my soft-sided bag.

And that's kind of part of why I want a hard-sided bag is to sit on it while waiting in line,
