What this trip asks of your gear

Airlines have their own stroller and car-seat rules. Read those first. Then pack adults into a 35 L wrap zip and put snacks, a bottle, and a spare shirt in the Daylite.

Luggage

Published cabin geometry first. Then the cubes and the liquids tray.

Shoes

A sandal that can get wet and still walk. The sneaker is the city day.

Shirts

A sun shirt for a deck, a beach, or a long exposed walk.
