Travel Schedules To Be Announced            

 

Going through security!!

We have been asked to be at the airport two hours before departure because of the amount of checked baggage we are taking.  Please read the notes below.  Note that you need to carry on what you will wear and use personally.  Checked baggage is mostly for supplies.

Due to higher security levels at airports worldwide, gifts and packages are subject to the same inspection as your carry-on baggage. To reduce delays at the airport security checkpoint Continental recommends that you travel with your packages unwrapped. This will allow for easy inspection, if necessary.

Continental will permit one bag plus one personal item (see below) per passenger to be carried on the aircraft.

The maximum combined linear measurement (L + W + H) of the carry-on bag is 51 inches (130 cm). The maximum weight of the carry-on bag is 40 pounds (18 kg).

In addition to the one carry-on item, you may bring free-of-charge the below items:

     One small personal article such as a briefcase, purse, day planner, small laptop computer, camera case, compact disk player or similar sized     personal entertainment item

 

Note: No knives of any size or material are allowed past the security checkpoint (including, but not limited to, pocket knives, folding or retractable blades regardless of blade length or composition, box cutters, X-Acto knives, scissors with a pointed tip, straight razors, Leatherman or Swiss Army Knives).

 

Coming home we will have a lot less checked baggage.  Note: 

Wal Mart has (in the travel department) money/passport belts that go under your clothing.  These have zippered pockets to keep your items secure.  They cost about $7, but are worth considering.  You must have your passport with you all the while you are out of the United States.
