Julie's Travel Tips

Flying nowadays is always an interesting experience, don't ya think? I recently made two trips out west. The lotion issue had me all stressed out; I mean, how much shampoo and conditioner will they allow me to bring on the plane before I'll be suspected of being a "terrorist"? And I feel so much safer now that all liquids and lotions have to be in those plastic freezer bags. phew. And of course I'm feeling really secure knowing we all have to take our shoes off and run them thru the special x ray machine cos there's nothing I personally enjoy more than walking around the filthy airport in my bare feet. But...at least it makes us all safer. And may I ask, why do the airlines not load the planes from the rear forward? Get rid of that "first class" bull sh*t, make the fares the same for everyone, put the people with children and those who need "assistance" in the rear of the plane (did I tell you my mother once brought a cane with her so she could board earlier than everyone else? No, she didn't need it and yes, I wish I were making this up); then you wouldn't have people standing in the aisles, jamming their "carry on" luggage, with their 32 ounces of liquid safely stored in plastic baggies, into the overhead bins while you're standing there waiting with someone else's "carry on" luggage jammed up your........
just a thought.
