Taking recommendations for an isolated carry-onable suitcase.  The small one that's part of the cheap set I got from BB&B is in rough shape.  Needed for upcoming 3-day trip to a 10m pocket planes town.

OK, I'm looking for one that is too big to be carried on but isn't one of the gigantic ones that has to be half empty to get under 50 pounds. Something suitable for a 2 week trip with 4 or 5 destinations. I have done it with my gigantic suitcase but it's a pain in the ass and all the pro travelers make fun.

travelpro crew 9. just pick your size and whether you want 2/4 wheels and soft/hard side. best bang for your buck in whatever type of luggage you want. go to amazon to purchase.

Ugh. Just landed in St. Louis and the guy who's loaded on from stl just leaned all the way back in front of me. Seriously, what is wrong with ppl. Being tall & flying are a bad combo.

Yeah.  Is the worst.  My knees touch the seat in front of me before the seat is leaning back on most planes. 

Who can't make a flight without reclining?

I think I'll go w/ Ogio because it's cheaper, I won't use it more than once or twice a year, and I love my Ogio backpack.

Making the rounds in Denver area this week. Any must eat joints in Denver? I need a good spot for tomorrow (Tuesday). I'm planning on lunch in Breckenridge on Wednesday. Eating in Buena Vista on Thursday. Not boozing hard this trip as I'm doing a lot of early morning hiking. Maybe a couple of pints at Breck Brew.

we had a great dinner at Rioja.   Also had very good sushi at SushiDen.    Was underwhelmed by Biker Jim's.   Snooze for great pancakes.  Hear very good things about Pinches Tacos, but didn't make it.
You need to hit Pinche Taqueria. Outstanding. I ate outside under the shade tree this afternoon. Three different tacos for my meal and a very fresh guacamole with pico de gallo dip as an app. Ranger IPA on tap.

If your a fan of French, Bistro Vendome is across the street from Rioja (and the same cook started it).  It's fantastic and very good patio and less formal than Rioja.

Sushi Den is typically regarded as best Sushi.

If you want a great bar/burger Cherry Cricket.

If you want asian fusion than Cholon Modern Asian Bistro is amazing downtown with nice patio.

There's so many diff things it'd be easier to narrow down if you picked a type of food.

Thanks for the suggestions. I honestly wanted random cuisine suggestions as I'll eat most anything.
