Well if you are over 60 rolling bags are a plus! Both of us have a Timberland rolling duffel, that collapses flat. They can be stowed in the cockpit seating or even in the hanging locker if necessary. Mine is over 15 years old with countless trips to BVI, Hawaii, Mexico etc. No rip or tears and the zippers are all still working. We always check bags and take only minimal carryon with a change of clothes and bathing suit in case of delay. Learned early to split the bags with his and hers clothes so if one bag goes AWOL the other bag still has some of each of your clothes. With 3 weeks until wheels up I will be packing them yet again very soon. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
