eh, not that difficult.  Don't take either and just be as stinky as you normally are.

then you can use your fluid allowance to take a random bag of jam in a bag, because THAT really is essential.  An yes it does have to be in a bag, not a jar.

Oh man! My package is taking forever to arrive!!! Argh!

I guess it's obvious whose person I am. Hehe.

I checked the tracking number and apparently my package has been in NZ since the 12! But it's been shipped from import and customs and so forth the whole time. As of the 19th it was being prepared to be shipped to the main office from where it can finally be delivered. So hopefully it will FINALLY arrive on Monday.

Good thing I am a pessimist about packages and didn't pack anything that could go bad.  ;)b

fb, you can take both.  The containers can't be more than 3.4 oz. in capacity, but you can have as many of those containers as you can fit in a quart-size ziplock bag.

Not to sound like a terrorist, but wouldn't allowing multiple 3.4 oz containers be just as much of a safety hazard as allowing (say) 20 oz in one bottle? o_O

Anyway: YAY. I CAN BE CLEAN!!

It's not about safety.  It's about the illusion of safety.  ;)

Yeah, and if Hollywood pseudoscience has taught me anything, having separate containers of liquids is definitely what fake criminals do to make explosives. Right?

Fight Club has never steered me wrong.

They don't check ID at the airport??!  :o

not for domestic flights.  Well, they can, but they probably won't.

COME TO AUCKLAND, THEO!! : )

no,  but I think it's essential that you take a bag of jam.

we travelled from Germany to Denmark with a bag of cooked pasta...

So hopefully it will FINALLY arrive on Monday.

Yayayay! :) I'm so glad it arrived. I was getting worried, because I had to squish the address all together in a tiny space.

I hope you don't overload on sugar. Haha.

Came home to find a surprise in my mailbox from Shelloid!!!!    :)>>> :)>>> :)>>>

And it could've have come on a day I needed it to more.  Shell sent me two different kinds of cookies...one of which she made with the purple butterfly cookie cutter I sent her. Very good cookies btw.  I also received a rice crackle candy bar, a raw foods bar, the cutest and coolest sheep keychain ever and.....prepare to be jealous....some barky NZ nooch to try!!!  Yay!!!

Thank you Shell for being so awesome!!!

ETA:  You really don't know how much this brightened my day!  So totally unexpected...I teared up.
