Re: Travel Tips

I like this! This would've been helpful last year, at least for me ...

... want to hear the story you say ... well if you insist ...

It was our first trip - to the Peachtree Regional ... and bare in mind that I hadn't traveled in about 2 years before that. I had heard about most of the restrictions that the airports had ... so I avoided packing the things that they would stop you for. Anyway, we get to the point where they are checking you and passing you through the metal detector and there's a huge line of people taking off jewelry, shoes, anything metal. So I do the same, but as I'm passing the metal detector it goes off and starts beeping. Happens to be that my pants have this belt (that is incredibly hard to take off) which had a really weird metal buckle. So there I am in front of the officer trying to take off my belt and just couldn't ... it was really hard to take off ... so she took me aside and patted me down then she passed her metal detector all over me. I was the only person stopped ... and I was very upset and embarrassed .

Something I'm not going to forget ...

Thanks for the tips NEMO!!

I have to agree ... Dorienne Plait and I are quite a DUO in CD!!!
