Just when I think I’m getting better at this international traveler supermodel lifestyle, life comes and slaps me with a reality check.
TSA took my $75 hair cream. Yes, it was over the size limit, but if the gentleman would have just taken a minute to look at my split ends, he would have understood!
I recover, though, and play it cool. Oh that old cream? Psh. I have a dozen of ’em. *Frantically texts mom to please go purchase more hair cream and have it waiting for my arrival*
Things are on the up and up until I deplane my first flight. Water bottle? Check. Phone? Check. Laptop? Check. I prance off the plane and give my best international world traveler supermodel smile to the flight attendants and pilots. I get to the monitor to see where my next gate is when I realize my load is a bit light. *Frantically prances back onto plane to retrieve carry on*
At least none of my clothes still had the tags on them this time. Baby steps.

The first time a girlfriend and I traveled together, her passport fell out of her carry-on bag in the overhead compartment. We were almost at our next gate when we got called back.

It’s a good thing the flight crew checked all the overhead bins. And that we had lots of time between flights to go back and retrieve it.

Darn those TSA agents! I personally love couscous, but the hubs can’t stand the texture. I’ve told him over and over it’s just wee round pasta, but he doesn’t get it.
