From TSA: traveling with film:

General Use Film

You should remove all film from your checked baggage and place it in your carry-on baggage. The X-ray machine that screens your carry-on baggage at the passenger security checkpoint will not affect undeveloped film under ASA/ISO 800.

If you desire to have it inspected by hand, you may be required to open the box, canister, or wrapper so our Security Officer can inspect it. We recommend leaving your film in the unopened manufacturer’s packaging.

...with any luck, we will be leaving the PHL terminal and taxiing to the runway ready to leave for MCO!

BFosbenner... Wish I could! Unfortunately, I only have a 45 min connection. Of course being PHL I expect our PHL-MCO flight to be delayed.

The last time the Phils won the World Series we partied on Broad St. The rumors spread that all SEPTA lines were free. Unfortunately, we found out it wasn't true, so we hitched a ride back to Temple U on the roof of a car! Ah, the good old days!

I remember (although that word is sooooo subjective! ) having a similar experience- and I was 17 years old!!! People were going NUTS!!!!!

 

[bfosbenner]

STILL HERE! AT WORK

NO FAIR!

 

[wuv tigger]

I wonder what else I can them 2 do w/o them finding out about the cruise

I got them to clean the coat closet so we could try on shoes we "might" need for this 4 day weekend.

Let's see if I can get them to clean their "craft stuff" so they can have stuff to do on the trip ...

I just printed my boarding passes!!!!! Now if I can only get through the celebration to get to the airport. I am going to sneak in from the south rather than trying to approach from the north as that route takes me too close to the stadiums. We are definitely going to leave earlier than I was planning. I don't mind sitting at the airport, but would be in a panic stuck on a log jam of traffic trying to get to the airport.

Made one more last minute shopping run. Going to take an hour off and watch Survivor at 8.

I will have some quiet time tomorrow am as I am staying home while DD goes to school and DH goes to work till noon. Gosh I hope he doesn't get caught in the red tide of traffic. Hurray for the Phillies

 

[Boys Papa]

to the airport, see you all either tomorrow night at MNSSHP or Saturday at the Terminal. It has been a pleasure being part of the EDC. Thanks!!

Papa, Grandma, and the "Boys"

Ellen... you had a typo when writing about the last time the Phils won the Series. You accidently typed a 1 in front of the 7 when writing about your age at the time. Just wanted everyone to know your correct age!

Now THAT is funny!

So tired- if you've forgotten anything, ANYTHING AT ALL, just knock on my door- I'm sure I've got it!! I've been packing for DAYS!!! And I didn't overpack, I don't think...but my head really hurts, so if you see me tomorrow and I'm babbling like an idiot (kind of like right now) just smile and pat me on the head- I'm sure I'll be back to normal eventually!

See ya real soon!

[mindelmouse]

Our bags are packed (except for morning toiletries) - mani/pedi done, flight should leave at 9:55 am. It's been a true pleasure chatting with everyone and I can't wait to meet you. We'll be at MNSSHP tomorrow night.

Have a safe flight everyone...

Swim team business is finally finished. I just sent the last entry reports, and good luck emails to the team. We're paid with smiles, and fortunately I have a lot of smiling swimmers! Check them out at www.mbywildcats.com .

Our bags are packed. DD11 & I need to go to school tomorrow morning, and then we're off! It's been quite a journey since January 2007. Finally, TODAY we leave for our cruise!

 

[wuv tigger]

I have what my dh calls the last minute, omgoodness I might need ..., can't sleep cause I might forget something, what IF I need it ..., how many checked bags can we have, last minute going on a trip jitters.

I got a few things to do this am ... get the kiddos off to school, pick them up early, head to the airport!

Everyone heading into & out of PHL (Philly airport) be careful

see you real soon!

 

[wuv tigger]

just in case we see anyone at MCO today

 

[wuv tigger]

It was about 34 F when the kiddos went off to school.

See ya real soon!

 

[artesian]

Safe travels to all.
I'm so looking forward to the alarm clock going of at 4am tomorrow.

 

[nobodycares]

I'm with WuvTigger - got the pre trip jitters. Woke up around 4:30 and just lay there trying to remember what I am going to forget. Taking care of that last minute to do list this morning- setting my VCR for Survivor and Grey's Anatomy, packing toiletries, making sure the camera batteries are ready to go.

We'll be sleeping in Florida tonight (provided I can get to the PHL airport through the Phillie's World Series Celebration).

I am going to go peek at the weather forecast but I am worried - National just showed a big rain cloud over Key West for Sat/Sun.

Save journeys to all.
