  • Re: Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?

    On a side note... I just found out you can bring ice skates in your carryon. I figured with how easily you can remove the blades, a couple of Canadians with skates/blades could easily use those as weapons on a plane. I'm not worried about it, just thought it was curious.

    Also... as a tip for travelers who like a beverage but don't like to pay ridiculous prices: Get 3 small bottles from Walgreens/Target/etc and fill them with your favorite alcohol. You can bring them through security without a problem. We usually do vodka and get the dry crystal light packets. Then you just need to find water on the other side of security and you have a nice beverage.

      I don't have AAA (USAA insurance covers almost all the benefits of AAA). I'll look into getting it for this trip.

      I hadn't even considered it, but it's not a completely off the wall idea. I'll look into it. If it saves us money on a hotel and restaurants that might balance out the increased cost of gas. Thanks for the suggestion!

      This is exactly our problem.

      I don't have Costco, but this might be the excuse I need to get a membership (I prefer BJ's to Costco, but I'm sure they have car rental stuff too). Also, *giggle*

        Drinking them on an airplane is illegal unless served to you by a crew member. If caught, law enforcement will most likely be meeting you at the gate.

          Considering he's already describing how to circumvent security lines, I don't think that's an issue...

            TSA isn't an issue. They don't care as long as it's less than 3 oz. Most people get away with it, but it still doesn't make it legal to consume. I've had to call LEO's more than once to meet flights for this.

              Flight for Bangkok leaves in a few hours. First trip back to my wife's homeland in several years and I cannot wait.

                Fly well, Slap.

                Try to get there in time to catch some F'Hawks hockey tonight. Today. Yesterday morning. Whatever it is there.

                    I should have included that part in my post. I was more taking about the hour plus between security and boarding.

                      My wife tells me stories about folks so drunk they can barely stand up. They don't fly, they are told to go sober up which means out of security into the bar on non secure side

                        Taking a road trip. Anyone have recommendations for good restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville, or Nashville?

                            Are we talking medical centers? I assume you have acquired a taste for hospital cafeteria food.

                              If you're interested in BBQ, find a Montgomery Inn around Cincinnati. They're pretty interesting inside, usually some neat sports memorabilia from players who have frequented the establishments.

                                Thank you much! Keep them coming.

                                As for the hospital food in Cleveland...I always found it ironic that the Cleveland Clinic (rated "number 1" in cardiac care) had a McDonald's inside.
