If you want to try something different look at the eBags Mother Lode TLS 21 inch. It has a very long handle and is very lightweight. It holds a lot more than it looks like on the web and I packed for a 7 day vacation all in one carry on suitcase, it has an expando zipper to make it bigger when you need it. If you are interested take a look at the eBags packing cubes, they fit perfectly in the suitcase and make it easy to pack.
