I got to use my new luggage. I like that the wheels move in all directions so it was easier for me and my young daughter to each pull our own luggage.  I noticed that there are lots of hard shell case luggage in use now, and seeing the condition of the contents of my other bag I used vs these new ones, I see why.  I was able to stuff a lot of stuff in these and they're not heavy.  I put a long piece of colored tape along each side to easily ID on the belt at pick up. No need for ribbons or yarn that fall off.  No one else had these colors on our trip by like I said, everyone is using these hard shells now so it could have been likely. I plan to buy a third piece to replace the old piece I was still using bc of how everything inside was so damaged in comparison.  The outside did get scratched up, but cmon, do you see how our luggage is handled at the airports?  Ill accept a few scratches if my lotions and shampoos aren't exploded inside.  No dents.  Also, its nice to store, one bag fits inside the other.  I threw a dryer sheet in each of them for the heck of it, then into the back of the closet it went.
