i think you can ask your wife to carry? (if she is travelling too) i dont think her handbag qualifies as a handcarry.

You're on a full keyboard, typing on a forum. Can you please try to avoid SMS-lingo? You're not limited to 160 characters. It makes your posts difficult to read.

For most airlines, the laptop bag and camera bag is treated as separate from hand-carry. So long as the laptop bag is not excessively large (normal laptop bag), they'll usually ignore it.

Yap... I agree. In fact, went to US in April on Northwest. I carried a laptop bag and a SlingShot 200. Not a problem at all.

Yeah.. I've even tried laptop bag, camera backpack plus tripod bag on Northwest, Alaska and Amerca West with no problems.

Usually one back pack plus one roll-on handcarry is fine.
