Today we embark on a big adventure: we’re flying out to California to meet my new nephew, Diego. This will also be Phoebe’s first trip travelling by airplane. Which leaves me feeling both excited and apprehensive. And at this point, I also feel a bit of panic. Because I still have a whole lot of packing to do. Because we will need to be bring with us a whole lot of stuff. Stuff in such quantities that we will wish we were traveling with a pack animal. (I understand that llamas can carry quite a lot…)
One of the many adventures we’ll have on this trip is making it through airport security. And I’m reminded of one more thing, which I didn’t include in my list from my post on that topic: the airport security playset, purportedly made by Playmobil, but now sadly appearing to have been discontinued. A few blogs wrote about it a while back. This one in particular shows some great pictures. Maybe if we had the playset, we’d be better prepared.
Okay. I really need to get going. I have to check the TSA website about travelling with a llama.

Hi Alejna —
FWIW, the worst airline I’ve ever been on is not an American one but, instead, Tanzanian. So bad is it — or was back in the 1990s when I had personal experience of its “service” that Air Tanzania Corporation (ATC) was re-christened by many as “Air Total Chaos” as well as “Air Maybe” (as in maybe, we’ll fly today. Or, then again, maybe not!)… :
Then there’s Malaysia Airlines. Which during those days when it was officially known as Malaysian Airline System (MAS) also was unofficially known as “Mana Ada Sistem” (trans. “where’s the system”?)… ;D
Oops, sorry! Had meant to post my previous comments on the later post about flying rather than this one!! ;(
YTSL-
Thanks for these! I went and put a copy of your first comment on the next “unfriendly skies” post.
