Airport Security and Checkin

I PLEDGE NOT GET TO THE AIRPORT 3 HRS EARLIER AND OTHER SAGE TRAVEL ADVICE 

Packing for a trip, any trip, long or short has so many pitfalls. This latest scare has just made it more difficult but I refuse to give in and NOT TRAVEL. Take the case of checked vs. non-checked luggage. I always checked most of my luggage and carried only a large purse on the plain. I hated schlepping all that stuff through airports when I had to stop at baggage for my large piece anyways. I would pack all my make-up and hair products in checked luggage so would just sail through security with a small notebook computer that I carried in my large purse and nothing else to hold me back. But then the checked baggage fees put a crimp in that smooth plan so Chuck and I have learned to take one large carry on if the trip is less than 1week and does include dressy cloths because of the cost of checking baggage. I am much more successful than Chuck thanks to CHICOS clothing brand, but I did have to scale back on my shoe choices and amounts, and any women can agree that is the most difficult decision. I got pretty darn good with the make-up but the hair products did pose a challenge.
