Maybe I can pack the box in my suitcase -or buy an inexpensive that fits the suitcase -- and use a collapsible suitcase for my clothes. The monitor is staying there with a friend...see paragraph above for the reason.

Thank you for your advice.

good that you have the original box and where i shipped my folks their 20" imac (basically a monitor with a foot), i would recommend doing what it did and pack/wrap some towels, bubble wrap or closed cell foam around the monitor or placing your padding between the screen side of the monitor and the inside of the box to protect the screen
