TSA has a 3-1-1 rule.
You can have liquids if they are in 3 oz bottles (or less)-- as in the bottle holds 3 ozs or less, in a 1 quart clear plastic ziploc bag and 1 bag per person.
Yes, it has to be 1 quart bag. And the bottle can only hold 3 ozs. It can't be a 6 oz bottle with only 1oz in it.
Also do no wrap any presents you plan to carry on, they will be unwrapped to be inspected.
Oh! And once you are past the check point you can purchase drinks and take those on board the plane.
P-C, what kind of sandwich? Ham, would be ok. PB&J might be suspect.
Turkey! Or...chicken. One of the two.
I still only need to get there an hour before, right?
Also do no wrap any presents you plan to carry on, they will be unwrapped to be inspected.
Oh, shit, thank you! I must remember to check those.
Even checked, they will still likely be unwrapped and inspected, so wrap upon arrival.
Well, that totally blows. And I went to such trouble to get them wrapped, too.
P-C, spend the extra money to ship them out, then. If you ship them tomorrow priority, they'll definitely get there in time and be nicely wrapped still. Plus, then you don't have to deal with them.
Poor meara! Strep throat sucks.
P-C, go shipping, choose shipping!
If you check them, they won't necessarily be unwrapped. I just went to Mexico with some wrapped presents in a checked bag and neither US or Mex. customs opened the suitcase from what I can tell.
Also, 'allo, them whot remembers me.
Can't they just x-ray the packages, without unwrapping them?
Yes. The trick is that if your bag happens to get snagged for more thorough inspection, you run the risk of unwrapped presents. It's a gamble that I generally don't feel like taking. But I'm also biased because I hate traveling with an ounce of extra weight in my luggage and will ship anything that I can.
Btw, yes still having a wonderful vacation. I'm waiting in the car as ND does a quick grocery run, though, so I had phone-posting time.

You are so close, and yet so far away. It is only about 3 hours to Orlando, and yet 3 hours that I don't have. Yay for vacation! Have much fun.
{{meara}} Ick. Strep germs need to leave you alone.
