Thanks so much for all the replies. I, too, am a big fan of Briggs and Riley and the spinner wheels. Donna, your reply made me laugh because it is so accurate. Somehow, somewhere between my house and the ship (we used a luggage shipping service) my bag was totally destroyed. My feeling is that it suffered a very bad accident somewhere in the port. It reminds me of those old luggage commercials where the bag ends up on the tarmac. Mine looks like it was dropped from a tall building and then run over by a train. I will see if it can be repaired, but in the meantime I need something for my Explorer cruise, so will check out Costco.
