<p>jym626, Can I vote for you as #1 online shopper! LOL, thanks. I am first going to check out the hockey bags at Sports Authority. At least I will see what I am getting. Also, I won’t need to pay shipping charges if I buy more than one and return it later. Thank you all for all of this research. You have saved me some time in shopping for this.</p>

<p>Thanks, NEmom!
The hockey bags are certainly a great idea-- cheers knows from whence she speaks. Here’s a link to the sportsauthority website with their bags <a href=“DICK'S Sporting Goods - Official Site - Every Season Starts at DICK'S”>DICK'S Sporting Goods - Official Site - Every Season Starts at DICK'S; Oh-- I did discover that the hockey bag in our garage has built in ventilation (little small holes with metal eyelets to vent out the gamey smell-- so that bag wasn’t as nasty as I 'd thought). But you may or may not want this feature if you are using it as luggage.<br>
Keep in mind, if you order from an online store that doesn’t have a shop in your area (like the bag places on line that we’ve mentioned) you won’t pay tax on your order. I don’t know were you live, but the tax on a duffel if you buy it in the store can add several bucks to your purchase. Most of the sites that we’ve sent you should offer free shipping too, but be sure to check it out before you buy on line. There are also lots of coupons on line for most of the places we’ve mentioned. And if you end up having to return something (like I did with the first bag athat arrived with a manufacturing defect) they will email you a UPS return label. It won’t cost you anything to return the stuff- other than your time to deal with it. Oh-- and as an aside, my H. just bought something fromour local sportsauthority. I’d printed him some info for 15% off , but they’d only allow it for an on-line (not in-store) purchase.</p>

<p>Thanks jym. I was thinking about the sale’s tax, but thought I’d first check out what is in the store. I can always then order online, if they have the same items.</p>

<p>Ok, a related question - does anyone happens to know a site that sells deeply discounted daypacks (aka bookbag style)? The prices of daypacks has skyrocketed in the past few years, and I’d like to replace my older one with something cooler looking to take to Edinburgh.</p>

Here are a few to try. I’ll try to check out a few more later, but I have to run to the airport. S#1 is flying through on his way back to his summer internship, and arranged for a 4 hr layover to have dinner with me (and DH and S#2) for my birthday today! :slight_smile: I dont get to see him much any more. I’ll take whatever I can get!</p>

<p>Happy Birthday jym!!! I hope that you and your family had a wonderful BD dinner!</p>

<p>Thanks, nemom! It was great to have the family all together for my b’day, even if it was only for a few hrs. The weather cooperated by having a TORRENTIAL downpour during dinner, delaying his second flight, so we got to spend a little extra time with him. I also took it upon myself, since I was at the airport, to scout out what kind of duffels and rolling carry-ons people were using these days. But I began to feel like a weirdo- scoping out people’s luggage seemed just a little odd. So I stopped, and I am sorry to say i have not much of use to report. :(</p>

<p>northeastmom, cabela’s seems to have the best prices - I like the Jansport Luna and the Jansport Air Cure. The Marmot Mohave is very nice too (Sierra Trading Post) but it only comes in yellow. </p>

<p>jym626 - still looking at these - thanks for those links!</p>
