I have to agree that my Eagle Creek Hovercraft is too heavy and I will have to get a smaller, lighter bag. However, it will still have to be wheeled since I am not supposed to carry more than 3-4 lbs on my shoulders based on doctor's recommendation.

The combo Samsonite Micromover plus the A Saks is a good suggestion but upon review, the cart seems a bit too flimsy for my use since I walk up to a mile or more in public streets with my suitcase whenever I travel and I usually piggyback my personal bag (with my purse inside) onto the suitcase. I will look into polycarbonate bags (unfortunately no outside pockets) and perhaps an 18" wheelie.

Shaving off weight of the contents is seriously considered.

Thanks.
