Travel Round Up

It’s been too long since I’ve posted here, but I have a couple of quick thoughts as the summer travel season begins:

First, the TSA has released their summer travel tips.  Overall, the tips aren’t very helpful, but they do clarify that the archaic 3-1-1 liquid rules are still being enforced. Recent reports from bloggers led many of us to believe that the TSA had gotten even more lax and inconsistent about the rule. My biggest piece of advice to those of you who don’t travel a lot? Empty your pockets at home. Don’t bring change, extra keys, etc. to the airport. Pack your keys in your carry on bag along with your phone. It will make life easier.

Second, the Travel Gear Blog posted its top ten graduation gifts for the travelling grad. A few of the items, including the bottle kit and shower kit are pretty good, check them out here.

I’ve got some trips coming up. I’ll capture the experiences and pass them along.
