Best Wishes to Slim!

Elena arrived last night.... so far so good!

I'll spare the good (sure you can imagine!) and say that when she passed through Prague (her last stop before the U.S.) they confiscated some of her (cosmetic) make-up, and this didn't make her too happy. It was kind of messed up because they only took her good stuff, like the big name (expensive) stuff and let her keep the almost empty things. The sealed packages (new) were kept by the official. They told her that it was a rule that they must keep most make-up, but it didn't make much sense because they only kept the stuff that any woman (like their wife at home) would want.

All the confiscated things were in her carry-on bag, so if your S/O is on the way through Prague (and maybe any other point of departure) he/she should stow their cosmetics and the like in their checked baggage.

That's all for now...... got more laundry to do.

This is happening everywhere, not just in Prague, ever since some annoying terrorist figured out that explosives could be concealed in that fashion. Toothpaste is on the prohibited list as well in some airports. Picture a 747 touching down after a 14-hour flight, and nobody has brushed their teeth since going through airport security 16 hours earlier. Eu-u-u!

Congratulations to you and Elena on her safe arrival. Meeting Irina when she stepped off the plane in Portland was one of the high points of my life. It seemed almost surreal.

Strange, perhaps it was an airline thing but Korean Air gives a travel toothbrush and a tiny little tube of toothpaste, socks ( ) and sleep shades! I still have 1 set of official KAL sleep shades.

I forgot to mention the little zippered bag they came in, which I have one of those also...it has my left over won in it!

Actually, Delta gives those out too... however you have to be UP FRONT in First/Business class to get such a "treatment" from them...
