Pack your laptop or any other electronic devices so that they can be easily removed to place in the bin. All electronic devices must go through the Xray machine out of their cases - Knives, scissors and other sharp instruments cannot be carried in your carry-on. Either leave them at home or pack them in your checked luggage.
- If you are carrying liquids, they must be under 3oz. and be in a plastic bag. Have that bag ready to take out of your carry-on and place in the bin.
- If you are carrying gifts, do not wrap them until you arrive at your destination. Wrapped gifts may have to be opened for inspection.
- Have your ID ready for security personnel, including boarding pass and government issued ID (passport - if traveling out of the country).
- Have any watches, pocket change, jewelery, ready to place in bin. Any metal items can set off the alarm.
- Do not take drinks with you through the security area. They will be confiscated. You can purchase drinks once you clear securty.
- Be ready to remove your coat, belt and shoes. These will need to go in a bin to go through the Xray machine.
- Avoid over packing items in your carry-on to avoid spilling if your bag needs to be opened for inspection.
- Be patient and keep your sense of humor. Do as the TSA request and don't argue or make jokes, they don't necessarily have a sense of humor and people have been arrested for joking about hijacking planes.
Travel Quotes
Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” Maya Angelou

I would like to welcome new readers to my travel blog. If you are reading this for the first time, then I suggest you first read my introduction which I wrote last November when I started this. It explains why I am writing this and it gives you a little about my background. And most importantly it explains about my list and how it works.
