The Best Luggage

I present my picks for the best luggage:

Costco Kirkland Executive Expandable Briefcase

This is the perfect laptop computer bag. It includes a removable, padded compartment for your laptop, and numerous other pockets to hold other accessories like the charger, extra batteries, your IPOD, etc. It is sized such that most airlines will call it a personal item which can be carried onto an airplane in addition to your "carry-on." It also includes a separate strap so that you can strap it onto the handle of your wheeled "carry-on" bag so that you don't have to carry it through the airport.

Costco Kirkland 22" Rolling Carry-On

This is the perfect wheeled suitcase. It is the maximum size that is allowed to carry-on an airplane as a "carry-on." You can take this onto the airplane in addition to a "personal item" (see above).

When you combine the 22" Rolling Carry-On with the Executive Expandable Briefcase, you have a luggage combination that allows you to bring the most stuff allowed onboard an airplane.

Costco Kirkland 26" Rolling Suitcase

This is the perfect rolling suitcase for luggage you want to check. It is large, but not so large that it will exceed the 50 pound limit imposed by most airlines on the weight of checked luggage. The wheels make going through the airport relatively easy, and it comes with a strap that will allow you to chain your lugage together and pull multiple items through the airport.
