Airport Nightmare with Security AAAARGH!

This is more up-to-the-minute then CNN.

Travel tip: TSA security caused Michele and I to drop out of our security check-in and go back to baggage check in. Anything - pills, toothpaste, hairspray, hair gel - cannot be brought on board the plane. Even an 8oz bottle of water Michele brought had to be finished before going through security.

So with all Michele's makeup, personal beauty products, vitamins, supplements - we had to transfer everything from our luggage to our carry-on. I was extremely fustrated and exasperated. But there was probably $40.00 wroth of goodies we would have to throw away if we didn't check in our baggage. Fortunately, our flight is not a transfer.

MY TRAVEL ADVICE: Ship all bottles, pills, personal beauty products to your location in advance - or prepared to do check-in baggage. I hope my guests for the wedding remember this advice - especially women and couples (or the husbands).

Other than that - the weather here is wonderful, but Michele and I agree: we are no fans of air travel.
