my big problem flying in and out of Kansas City and even from major airports to smaller destinations is that I cannot tell how large the luggage bins will be inside the passenger compartment
and I tend to take a lot of cameras and lenses on vacations.
so the idea of " gate check " scares me.
one flight the opening for the upper compartment was less than 8 inches !!!! :eek:
took gear out and stuffed gear inside sweaters and coats and placed in foot space ahead of our seats
and got real nervous

no comparison to problems with international flights
________________________________
my original flight Kansas City to Chicago to Bozeman Montana
ended up KC to Chicago to Salt Lake to Bozeman
with long layovers in Chicago and Salt Lake
my checked luggage went straight to Montana
and I was traveling with a damaged leg so I could not move around without assistance
didn't blame the weather which would have gotten me nowhere [ rightfully do ]
but rather how I treated - in effect - shut up and sit down you have no problem
ended up that customer service agent had a big problem when I got back home

good luck on your trip
this is what happened to me -
plane delayed at departing airport and I was told -
" oh you will get to your transfer airport in plenty of time to catch the connection despite the delay go back to your seat "
arrived at transfer airport 20 minutes after connecting flight had left
a trip that was to take 4 hours - took 12 hours
you can believe that I complained when I got home about how I was told to sit down and not seek alternative flight
got some compensation but not enough

just checking the Grand Prize raffle thread
no one made it in on Day 1, but people have been joining every day since
and of course there is no telling how many members, once qualified, have earned additional chances in the raffle
I wonder if we will get members qualifying 29 out of the 30 days

not sure how " valued " it is now in the US
I think it was more popular years ago with Paul Hogan and Olivia Newton John bringing interest in Australia
Coors Bear is made in Colorado, or at least was ( ?) and it wasn't distributed nation wide when I was in college
lots of people who went to Colorado would bring it back and it had a " exotic " attraction for some

I remember teaching my son about holidays when we were sitting at a restaurant
he said " I like holidays because you don't have to work "
I asked him, " who just bought your chocolate chip pancakes and my BACON and cheese omelet? "
" the waitress " he said
" and is she working ? " I asked
" yes " he said
" is it a holiday ? " I asked
" yes - oh I guess some people have to work holidays " he said
he was 5 or 6 if I recall correctly

I confess :o
I use Amazon
and walmart
but
also locally owned businesses as well :D
one of the things I love to do when on my travels is to find those hidden gems that the locals know and avoid the tourist traps and nation wide franchises

so, if you don't mind
does everyone swear that oath or was yours a special circumstance
mine was because I was admitted to practice law in the US Federal Courts ( District and Court of Appeals )

some might be using SWMBO as a joke
at least I hope so
either SWMBO or HWMBO, if used literally, to describe a relationship does seem too one sided for my taste
