15.2 Travel rarely goes exactly as planned - especially when you're traveling with kids, grandparents, and a full itinerary.


In Part 2 of this Unpacked series on when travel goes wrong, Jill and her husband, Paul, revisit another side of travel reality: losing things and navigating unexpected medical moments on the road.

From backpacks left on trains in Norway to phones sliding off the roof of a car in Bosnia, these stories capture the small mistakes and chaotic moments that can happen on even the most carefully planned trips. Some were stressful in the moment. Others became funny in hindsight.
