Greetings Travelers!
I'm planning a trip and need luggage advice. The last time I traveled (I'm 86 years old), the carry on suitcase didn't have wheels and I was so tired walking all over the airport...not just tired but in pain. So I need a suitcase to book on the plane that has a space where I can put a carry on, so I'd have one large thing to stroll in the airport with until I book the bookable luggage on. . But then when I book the big luuggae on, I need to use the carry on suitcase and it must have wheels. It's a long trip and I cannot be in pain.
Why is this so difficult to find? I've seen people in airports with just what I need. Where can I buy this without taking all of my travel money?

It should be VERY easy to find small, lightweight carry-on sized luggage with wheels. Its actually harder to fine them without wheels. You can find then everywhere -- from discount places like Ross/Marshall's to Walmart/Target to Kohl's to JC Penney to Macy's, to upscale places like Nordstrom or Tumi. They are sold just about everywhere. On line too of course but I like to buy luggage in person so I can check out the features, feel/weight, quality of the wheels etc.

Last time, at age 86, I booked a large luggage and then had a carry on that I had to put over my shoulders. By the time I walked all over the airport my shoulders were in pain. So hear's my question: Is there a luggage company that makes a large suitcase to book with a space where a carry on can fit. Here's the problem: I need the carry on to have wheels. Does this exist? I see people puling suitcases with a carry on top, but do those have wheels? I'm planning a long trip and need this help asap. I know I can pull two suitcases at the same time, but is there a better idea?

You need two suitcases both on wheels (which is kind of a pain in a different way). The larger one you check thru, the smaller one cabin size but also with wheels for ease in going thru airports.

That should not be hard to find. I never buy expensive luggage. No idea where you live but I find mine at places like TJ Maxx or Nordstrom Rack. You can shop online, but for luggage I really do like to see it in person and roll it around the store before buying.
