Depends on where you are going to vacation, who is apart of your travel group, etc. Am sure it is somewhere hot so that means you may not need some much of a heavy suitcase, and if it is all inclusive then you may not need to carry too much.

I actually have a luggage set and tend to take both the carry-on and the large case.  The secret for taking things that last over a week is in the packing.  If you aren't doing suts/dresses then ROLL everything!  Put toiletries all together a plastic bag.  Rolling pants/ undergarments/t-shirts etc. into cinnamon bun shape you can easily place five things side by side in a space that folding would only allow you maybe three at best if you put them on top of each other.

We just bought new luggage a few years back and could not be happier.
But if money is tight and your old luggage still works fine then I guess "if it aint broke don't fix it"!
But the new style luggage with the 360 degree turning radius is awesome!! I like the fact that you don't have to "tilt" the bag and roll it behind you. Sometimes I still do it that way,...but most of the time just grabbing the handle and pushing it while it is upright seems more comfortable to me personally.

I don't think luggage ever gets out of style unless yous is old enough that it doesn't have wheels.  I remember when the wheeled luggage first came out how much I envied those who could just pull the suitcases while I was carrying mine! :sad1:

I have a set of a large suitcase a small suitcase and a travel bag.  I only use the small suitcase once in a while.  I don't travel or go on vacations.

The last time I went on a long trip, I carried two duffel bags, and that was more than I needed.

There is a lot of changes in the airlines industry, for example the size of the carry ons, etc, you might have to buy new ones to replace the older and heavier ones..

I've never traveled with luggage because I've never flown on a plane or needed luggage for anything.

We each have a large rolling duffel.  After that, it's backpacks or whatever we might have.

check with your airline if you are going to fly to see their restrictions, and if you are driving then plan your route with extra items as weather conditions may change without warning.

You should be fine with your luggage. They usually very durable. I would recommend to pack light. I work with travelers and they pack way too much stuff.If you pack lean and light most likely you won't need a porter.

That sounds just about right.
