Hey, I have an airline luggage question. If I am allowed "one carry-on and one personal item such as a purse or briefcase" do people think I could count my usual bookbag/messenger bag thing as my personal item? I'm being sent to Ottawa next week for work, and I'm trying to figure out if I can actually travel without checked luggage.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I would think a messenger bag occupies the same luggage category as a briefcase.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As long as you're only carrying two bags total you should be good.

So just stuff my smaller purse (and toiletries, book, and bunny) into the bookbag and I'm good? Whew!

Have you flown with Clovis since the new draconian flight rules?

Yes, and things were fine. But Clovis isn't going with me on this trip, he's staying home to keep an eye on Pete. Prudence Bunny will be my traveling bunny.
Gah, business trip. But the team I'm meeting with made sure to send me a list of the cool gothy and alternative shops that are near my hotel.

Our wings are not tired
Yep, you'll be good. I travel with my big computer backpack as my personal item all the time.

Congratulations Omnis!
Now you need to take advantage of me, and Kristin. It's a group package.
Um. Hi. Can I come too?
And bring Meara?

I was surprised at the amount of cluelessness that still persists in airport security lines. There was a woman wearing a few pounds of metal jewelry who couldn't understand why the metal detector kept going off. Hubby had to tell her, "Your jewelry is setting off the detector, take it off." "OK," she says, and starts taking it off and trying to hand it to Hubby instead of putting it in the little box. Hubby refuses to take it, and she starts shoving it at him. He finally had to turn to a guard and say, "I don't know this woman, and I don't know why she's trying to hand me this stuff, what do I do?" They finally took her to the side for the full look over, and she bitched the whole way.
Meanwhile, Hubby, with his TENS unit attached to himself and wires running in and out of his clothing, barely got a look other than "What is that, sir?"
