We did what KATHY Z has done
We gave away are large luggage and have gone to each of us having a middle size and then a tote type that we can check through and attach to the middle size one for walking. (Shoes go in that one). Then we can each still have a small carry on.
Big problem with the big ones is how many pounds they are BEFORE you even start loading them.
Like I have said before. "I hope you like what I have on cuz you are going to see it again"
