While packing for our trip to New Orleans, I was searching another piece of our luggage for something.

In it, I found this:

This was the piece of Aboriginal art that we bought in Melbourne and that I thought we lost! It was rolled up and wrapped in black tissue paper. I stuffed it into Rob’s luggage, which has a black interior. So we totally missed it when unpacking.

All is not lost! I still highly recommend packing anything of value to you from your trip in your carry-on if at all possible, even if it didn’t cost very much.

Now, to decide where we want to hang it…

Have you ever lost something that you were delighted to find much later after you had made peace with the fact that it was gone?
