Travelpro Wall Street Overnight Computer Briefcase

Advantages: Lightweight and nice color
Disadvantages: Frame bends too easy during travel making it impossible to pull out the handle to use to pull it.

...I have gone on trips for many years. I bought a suitcase in 1996 that lasted me for 10 years. This year, in June, I purchased a pretty turqoise colored Travelpro WalkAbout Lite 26" Expandable RollaBoard Suiter. I have taken it on a few vacations so far. Unfortunately, yesterday on my trip back from Phoenix to Sacramento, my baggage was damaged. First off, I couldn't pull the handle out to pull it. I thought possibly something was wedged and waited until I got home to check out the problem. It was after I removed everything out of the suitcase that I noticed the frame was bent.

It was in good shape when I gave it to baggage claim. I now have to go purchase another suitcase... Read review

Disadvantages: cobbled streets are sore on the joints

If visiting yourself, I would try to get either a room overlooking the cobbled streets, or a room which overlooks the sea (don't forget the walls are high so you may be faced with the view of this instead). The seafood here is fantastic and there are abundant restaurants from which to choose.... Read review

Disadvantages: Breakfast

...In the end my wife decided we SHOULD visit our Bosnian friends, refugees in Split. The town built round the Roman Emperor Diocletian's palace is superb with narrow streets wending their way under arches and in some cases underground. Small squares house a plethora of little cafes and interesting shops; on every street corner there is something to see: a saint in a niche, a roman pillar, a medieval statue. Then there's the peristyle, complete with two Sphinxes, where we saw an open-air production of Aida. The Adriatic laps up to the walls of the promenade shaded by palms and other trees; the vista from a distance is gloriously " Mediterranean ". We flew from UK to Pula where we visted the ampitheatre and temple, and overnighted in a sort of Communist type holiday camp. The Istrian peninsula is well worth a longer stay than we... Read review
