New, large suitcase is necessary - I will be transporting packs of beer from FL. I'm looking at this for my next trip. Floor of my last big suitcase (off brand) split internally and won't stand up now, which is a dealbreaker until I start traveling with an entourage who carries my bags and tosses rose petals at my every step. Need something 28+ inches.
I feel like one. Can't get this particular Tampa beer in Massachusetts and such was a request from my host. Otherwise, for a weekend trip, I'd toss stuff in my carry-on and make life easier.
