I absolutely loved this tote.  If you are into cruises as my husband and I are, you will love this.  It is perfect for packing your water, snorkle gear, beach towels, sunscreen, camera, etc.  Toting a large bag is difficult for my husband and I and especially when waiting in those lines getting off the boat and then sometimes having a long distance to walk.  This rolling tote was perfect for us.  NOTHING carried on our shoulders or back.  Sometimes we had to pick it up for a short walk into the sand but 99% of the walk was with this tote ROLLING !  It also was used as  my "carry on" on the plane.  I'm sure it  would also  work well for the outdoor shopping malls and outlet stores.  I have one and enjoyed it enough that I purhased more for Christmas gifts for family that are also travelers.
