This suitcase is perfect.  I used it for a 3 week trip to France and it was just the right size.  It's very light, sturdy and looks great.  Its got a lot of convenient pockets and expands slightly for the stuff you end up taking back on the return trip.  The one we took on our trip we actually didn't get from Amazon, someplace else and my husband had a non-wheeled type bag.  But when the taxi took us to the airport to return home, he dropped us off at the wrong end of the airport and my husband had to carry his bag for what seemed like miles until we got on the airport tram.  Then when we got off the tram, we had to walk another few miles 'till we got to our gate.  I hate airports.  So as soon as we got back home we bought another one from Amazon to be ready for our next trip.

By the way, in case you're interested since I'm labeled as "pet parent", the dog didn't come, he stayed with the breeder and had a great time playing with all the other Papillons.
