TRAVEL. - December 6th, 2005 at 02:00 PM
hi all,
as you probably know by now ,i work in at the pierre-elliot trudeau montreal international airport for 22 years now.so when weezie posted a topic about what we re good at to help others i simply said theat one of the things i knew well was airport stuff. weezie though it would be a good idea to do a special topic on the subject,so here i am;of course nobody is perfect and there must be a few things i don t know on the subject,but there s a lot of things i know.
so,here s a few general information about a littlebit of evrything you should know about traveling,if you have any questions please feel free to ask as it s a little bit easier for me to answer you in detail or almost.
packing ....
first of all if you re thinking of packing only 1 BIG lugage to save you the trouble of carying 2 or 3 ....wrong idea.
lets supose you re going to see the familly over the hollidays,you tell yourself..i ll have only one to cary,less trouble.well you get to the airport,alone in a taxi,if you re lucky the cab driver will help you with the big,heavy bag(that s if he s not afraid to break his back that is.)you ve got a connection and have to take care of your own lugage inbetween the flights,2 hours waiting in transit,well,you ve got this huge luggage you can t take anywhere without steping on someone s toes with it.it heavy and back breaking,plus you can t lift it....AANND...at final destination you realise they ve sent your bag in kansas and you in hawaii,and since were not in kansas anymore...and think you had all the clothing and gifts ,papers in that bag.
NO,twas a bad idea,better to pack a medium size luggage to register and in another little bag that you ll cary with you put : all documentations.,and an xtra pair of underware with a clean sweater,just in case you ll be delayed one night because of weather and have to sleep over in transit.
as for the gifts:always wrap the gifts at your arrivals or after you ve past security,never wrap before departing as they might want to open it to see what it is,screening personnel don t cary xtra wraping paper and bows in their pockets.
speaking of screening,never pack all electronicsor electrical(blowdryer,curling iron etc...) in the same corner of the bag as all they see will be wires on wires.ladies if you ve got secrets, ,put it in your registered luggages.
hey,you ra italian anda mada homamade vino for alla da famiglia,well,escusa but puta your vino in your big registered bags,causa every bottle in cary on luggages musta be labeled and not open,they ve got to know what it is.
