I've been checking out the rules and regulations for flying and I am so confused. Check out this Travel Advisory from Westjet: "Liquids, gels and aerosols can be placed in checked baggage but will be at the guests’ own risk. Any of the above mentioned items will be confiscated at pre-board security screening."
Why on earth are they telling me to pack this stuff so that they can confiscate it before boarding the plane? Have I misunderstood something? I feel sick. I wanted to take some spare batteries for the camera but they are alkaline and the rules and regs only discuss lithium. I feel sick. DH is no help. He's been working so much overtime to finish up all his jobs before we leave, I've hardly seen him. He's home this evening but is he calming my travel fears? No. He's outside mowing the dead, brown lawn that hasn't been watered in weeks. I feel sick. I'm a homebody. I don't like traveling, especially squashed into a dinky, little seat with no elbow room to knit, for eight hours. I feel sick. What if I put too much stuff in my suitcase and it's overweight? What if I can't talk DH out of bringing the camping dishes and cutlery and his suitcase is overweight? What if security picks me to pull out of line for a body search? The fact that it will be conducted in a private room really doesn't make me feel any better. I feel sick. OMG! We change planes in Edmonton or is it Calgary? What if we get separated in the airport? I just know I'll get lost. I feel sick. When is someone going to invent the Transporter so we can cut out the travel part and just beam there? I know most of my fears are unfounded. I'm sure we'll be just fine..........although, DH does tend to get away from me in crowds....no, no. I mustn't think like that. It will be exciting and fun and............I feel sick.
