Gearing up for Japan – Airport Security
Yesterday I told you how I was feeling as if I was in a holding pattern waiting for my Japan adventure to start. and how my home consisted of loosely labeled piles sort of ready for packing.
Well, I’ve realized that the carry-on/technology pile is going to make me really popular in the the security line at the airport – you know those people that you end up behind who have to unpack everything and put them in separate bins and then if they manage to get through without some sort or alarm going off they take forever to pack everything up on the other side. Well that’s going to be me – and I hate me already!
With a lap top, a D-SLR camera, a DVD player and a hard drive amongst my carry-on belongings I have decided to apologize in advance to the people behind me so they don’t hate me as much when I have to take everything out of my carry-on.
I sure hope they understand….

Had a chuckle at this … traveling internationally with an asleep child we had to take him out of his stroller [kids, don't do that to a sleeping three year old!] and put all his goop [shoes, jacket, stuffed animal, blanket] and our goop [luggage, camera, laptop, jackets, shoes, extra stuffed animal] onto the belts – oh yeah, then have the sleepy child try to walk thru the metal detector unaided when all he wants to do is fall to the ground and sleep. Fun time … not.
BTW, and this part isn’t for the blog – but just wondering [since I can't find an email address for you, but am glad you moderate the comments!] – do you or Lenn know where Jim and/or Garrett ended up for the 2008 season? SJ Giants would only say “they’re no longer part of the SF Giants organization.” If either are coaching for a CA team, we’d love to say “hi” when we visit the stadiums this year. Thanks for any help or hints!
