Luggage Quest

All’s been quiet on the blog front lately as I have been getting ready for a trip to India next month.  Yep, next month, I’ll be traveling up and down India, having all my Bollywood dreams come true.  Right, not quite, but still I’m sure I’ll have lots of exciting new adventures to share.  So, I’ve been on the quest for a 22" duffel bag with wheels.  I have looked online and at REI, Target, Mervyns, TJ Maxx, Kohls, Chinatown, and even the Fashion District downtown and have discovered two extremes: either a cheap-ass $13-15 duffel that a child could probably rip apart or $165 extremely rugged, well-made bag.  I need something in between.  I don’t want anything too nice as I’ll most likely be caught in some monsoons and will get messed up, but at the same time I need something that can withstand some rough terrain.  I cannot in good UnHip LA conscience buy something too pricey.  Anyone know where to buy some good yet cheap luggage in L.A.?  I haven’t really scoured the SGV yet.  When I find the place, I’ll let you know.  The hunt continues.
