How about we fly to you and pick you up?! I really hope you're both able to come over at some point. Wait til Deana's been then she can tell you whether it's worth it!

The thought of an international flight scares the heck out of me. I really don't know how piolots and flight crews do it. I really don't.

We go crazy with security stuff at the expense of real people and human-ness! Really hope they make it ok. Deana - don't know what happened to our conversation! I'm sure we'll catch up again soon! Praying that it's all cleared up before you get here! Mel - That’s really harsh. We go crazy with security stuff at the expense of real people and human-ness! Really hope they make it ok.

The non-profit I work for has like twelve students and three adults from the Sportsclub traveling to Orlando for the Streetball (3-on-3 street basketball) World Championships tomorrow morning and you would not believe the hoops we now suddenly have to jump through (no pun intended)! No gatorade may be taken on board the plane; this means that instead of buying it here at Sams inexpensively they will have to buy it down there at a convenience store or something. They must show up 4 hours early for an 8am flight! <i>And</i>, two of our students have been red-flagged for background information!!! These are good Christian kids, just high school kids, and they just want to go to Orlando and defend their world championship title. I wish the airlines and DHS would just get off their backs! They're nervous as it is, this is the last thing they need. And these kids are from the inner city and pretty disadvantaged. They don't go on nice summer vacations with their families every year. It would be nice if they could just enjoy their trip! US airport security just went nuts, too.
