I've spent a lot of time waiting for bags in airports and I've managed to lose my bags on several occasions (I am a pro at filling in baggage claim forms in several languages!). My family always joke that I am cursed when it comes to travel and bags.

In February 2004 we took Loll on a short trip to Adelaide. It was extremely hot, in fact the city experienced its hottest day on record - 45C - while we were there. Here's a photo of him sitting with some of our bags in the baggage claim area of Sydney airport:

On this occasion we didn't end up having to wait too long for the last bags to come out on the conveyor belt. Unlike our trip to France. But that's another story…
