Tuesday, August 01, 2006  Travel Advise...  As a child my family
traveled a lot -- my step-dad worked for a major airline, so we
could fly for next to nothing, and we did. As an adult I do a
decent amount of travel -- most of it is by car/debate van, but
often also by air. Since hubby leaves for Red state on Saturday,
I'll be doing even more travel than in previous years.  I really
enjoy travelling, although I sometimes don't enjoy the people I
meet. I also love to watch "Airline" -- and some recent episodes
have prompted me to write a post some travel hints and tips....
1) Alcohol -- a major problem for some people. I know y'all may
like to drink, but being drunk in the airport will keep you off
of a flight more reliably than not having a ticket. If they can
smell the booze, you won't get on. I'm amazed when I watch
"Airline" and nearly every episode has some bozo who is too
drunk to fly and Southwest denies bording. Good for them!  2)
Firearms -- no, they won't let you on with that gun/knife/big
scissors i
