My daughter literally travelled around the world for a semester out of one piece of luggage. A 32-inch expandable wheeled duffel that could also be strapped on her back in a pinch. I couldn’t even pick the thing up when it was full. If you are looking for a nice piece of luggage that will get years of use and be big enough for more than weekend visits, this sort of thing is a great investment:

Now, if only the Chinese customs agents hadn’t cut all the pull tabs off the zippers when the thing got lost between Buenos Aires and Beijing. Aarrgggh. Here’s a good tip. Don’t lock your checked baggage. Just let 'em dig through it without destroying the bag.
