Getting ready to go out of town

[lillian13]

My usual Memorial Day weekend trip--get up very early, fly somewhere, and work. :-)  This time it's Fanime Con in San Jose. Please come say hi if you live in the area!

Packing after a more expensive than normal trip to the Container Store (honestly I usually restrain myself by constantly reminding myself that I can get almost everything there at Target for much less...), but they were having their travel sale, and I lucked into a small, only slightly twee purse  on sale that will work well, and their travel Space Bags were on sale, and I'll need those later this summer...

I'm really unused to flying only with carryon luggage. Have the quart bag packed with little bottles and things. Do I need to put my nasal sprays in there since they're prescription?

Also need to take out trash, clean out the cat box, etc. And watch Criminal Minds!

Yep, anything liquid. I got "yelled at" for a mini tube of toothpaste despite the fact that TSAs website said it was fine.

Do you need a ride to/from the airport? I'm happy to help - even if it is very early.

OK (goes and adds sprays).

Nope, the Niece is happy to haul me back and forth. Thanks for the offer!

And the purse is verra cute!

In my experience, if you have larger-than-3oz bottles of medicinal liquid (that are exempt from the 3 oz rule, includes contact lens solution), you will get brownie points from the screeners if you put that stuff into a separate bag and let them know what they are when you put them through.

That's my purse too! Got a new one on sale at REI last weekend (green). My previous purse was also a Milli, in red, but was starting to look rather dirty after a year or so of hard use. Still, it had exactly the compartments and the space that I needed, and is the lightest-weight purse I can find.

Like the purse. Hope the travel goes smoothly.
