if I can make a recommendation....if you have a Costco near you they have the hard shell HEYS luggage, if I am not mistaken you can fit 1 large, or 2 of the smaller ones in there. the hard shell are great because they don't bulge like others and compress your clothes.....I traveled to Costa Rica with a weeks worth of clothes and junk and had no issues fitting all my clothes into the smaller one.....just a thought for traveling/packing
