I just use a smaller black suitcase with wheels. Nothing too bulky and easy to get around.

Do you prefer the rolling suitcase, or the carry bag?

I've actually found the best deals at places like WalMart, Kohl's, Target, and others. There seems to be a fairly wide selection of different types of bags, different compartment setups, wheels, pockets, etc., so I just keep an eye out when I'm in those places, and I've been able to pick up a couple of good deals.

Recently I got a bag for less than $100 at JCPenny's. I think look all over the place before you settle on any bag that you will use for many years. Also online is a great place to find deals as well.

Peace

I got a bad at Target....one of the "Swiss" models. It is black, has the typical rollers and handle. I had tried the Costco carry-on roller but it was just to big for this usage. The Target/Swiss case was a bit smaller but still large enough...and cheaper too.

I like the compartments on this one. Pretty sweet.

I have one similar in size with two outside pockets for my manuals and books, and a zip lining for other "stuff" inside. Took me several times to find one of the size and style I liked. Now, I'll use it until it's spent.
