I have a very silly question and I'm feeling very wishy-washy, so I thought I would ask you guys what you would do. I'm trying to decide if I should exchange the suitcase I bought yesterday for a smaller one. Here is the story.
I'm going on vacation Saturday, and I'm flying there and back. I got my suitcase down from the attic and it was missing a wheel and had a broken zipper (don't ask how I missed that last trip
). So, DH and I went over to the mall yesterday and found a good sale on Samsonite luggage.
My broken suitcase is 27 inches, and it's worked for the past several years, although I have had to cram stuff in a time or two. Anyway, the only sizes the Samsonite came in were 24 inches and 29 inches (or 30?). The 24 looked too small, and the 29 looked way too big. DH convinced me to get the 29 inch one.
I was pretty happy (saved almost $300
) until I looked at the airline's web site to see what their check in policy is and found out that there is a weight limit of 50 pounds for checked bags. I knew there was, but forgot about it when I was shopping. So, I weighed my new suitcase, and it weighs about 15 pounds. DH says I can fit a lot of stuff in there before it reaches 50 pounds.
Do you guys agree, or should I go exchange it for the smaller one? There's not that much difference in price, and none of the other brands had 27 inch cases or I would probably have bought that one.
Thanks for reading this far - I told you it was pretty silly.
