Fun! We're heading to Montreal for the eclipse -- Mr. CE is originally from there, and we're combining the eclipse with reservations at Cabane a Sucre by Pied de Cochon. Flying Air Canada (sadly AA has discontinued non-stop flights between ORD and YUL). As for luggage....

We will be going on the Western Caribbean cruise (one week) on Seven Seas Splendor next month. Then on Voyager on a cruise that begins along the coast of Brazil (thank Maude they postponed they e-visa requirement) that then crosses the Atlantic, with several stops along the way, ending up with a day in Lisbon (hooray!). We fly out of Lisbon the following day on and incredibly complex itinerary. I get exhausted just thinking about it. The only saving grace is it's all in J. In May, we visit husband's Aunt in Europe. She turns 90 this year. It's also my birthday. I shall not be turning 90, however.
Your Ebby Rain post made me take a look, and both Mr. CE and I pulled the trigger on the Quartermaster (the cream for me and the black for him). Coincidentally, the day after it arrived, I hosted a bunch of girlfriends and one came with her cream colored Delsey so I had the chance to see what a close match it is. Then...Mr. CE came home from Montreal and said, "I saw this great Delsey backpack that would match your new suitcase..." so great minds think alike.
(Oh, I'm heading to St. Louis next weekend to see family, but that barely counts as a trip, but will probably take the Ebby Rain for a test drive.)
ETA, and your travels sound wonderful!
