Thank you for the kind words, Jean.
Carol, the fashion show will have to wait as I had to box and mail the new clothes home. I didn't want to purchase a second suitcase which I'd probably never use again. I travel with one carry-on bag, have for years.
I flew home today, arriving around 2pm. My how mail piles up in just 9 days!
I also got on the scale and was pleased that it read 154 so my weight has stayed the same.
Oh, the airport TSA guy searched my carry-on and said my can of hair spray and bottle of port was illegal so had to be escorted out of the security gate area and then checked in the carry-on. When I opened the case at home my hand mirror was shattered, but the wine is A-OK!
