vanDoug Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Dear JN Brothers and Sisters, 3:45 wake up this AM After spending 3 hours pre, 3 hours during and 2 hours post airplane ride today.. Give yourself super-extra time to travel on commercial airlines. The extra time after was 'cos everybody's checking baggage and it's simply taking longer..... Side PHX note... Whoever suggested Jackson's on 3rd.......Great call...thank you..excellent sports bar downtown. Chase Field is a grrrrrrrrreaaaaattttttt ball park Went to Alice Cooperstown after the game....really good too....in fact so good, this typing is verrrrrruyy diiffukult. Gimme sleep. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Doug... I just watched the news and the new no fly list. WOW. Allow extra time, that will be the deal going forward. Sad but it is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 ....try flying international! Getting home from the Bahamas was a challenge! Lines, lines and more lines!!!!! I'm all about carry-on's - but heard that they were not allowing toothpaste, shampoo, lip gloss, perfume,body lotion, etc.....and I'll be damed if anyone throws away my Channel stuff....so I checked my toiletries at the Bahamas and then proceeded top go through four check points. FOUR! Had a connecting flight in Miami - go through customs - silly customs boy asks me a few questions - talks about Boston and then requests that I say Bucky Dent. Like I have time for this sh*t. I look at him and told him I would do one better: Bucky F'n Dent. (I said F'n...not the whole word ) he laughs, I go downstairs to get my checked bag - wait, wait, wait.....get it, then must go to the furthest terminal from where I am so I can check it again! Made my flight home with five minutes to spare. Ah...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanDoug Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 other side notes. -There was a guy ahead in the lineup going through security. A bottle of water was discovered in his carry on. Everything stopped in all lines. Nervousness and whsipers everywhere while security guys scrambled. Dude apparently didn't speak English, was taken away. -Chase Field roof. Rain? What rain? Over 84 degrees and the roof gets closed. Was mid 90s yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garb Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 But Garb, you were in the BAHAMAS!! Me? I was in Pennsylvania. Yeah. lol. True. You know what I really liked? I liked sitting by the pool at the Atlantis and getting poolside bar/waitstaff service. I am soooooo well-suited for a life of leisure. My income? Not so much! LOL!!! Hope your b-day was grand, Ms. V! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
