When I travel my rule is no checked luggage. I spent two weeks in America recently with just carry-on bags. This rule gets broken when I travel with my family.  

Here’s what we took on our trip up to the Daintree last month.  

And we managed to miss our plane.  

Our taxi got lost finding our house, there was an accident on the freeway, it was raining and the dog ate my homework. The plane was closed by the time we got to the airport.
