Its always a busy time for me with the TSA because I have to watch out for my stuff and my 88 year old mothers! They always have to take her aside to check out those artificial hips!
A toast to you and your mom, Sable99--that you travel with an 88-year-old, and that an 88-year-old is willing to travel!

And thanks-- you just gave me a good suggestion for walking shoes for a trip we're taking over Christmas, where it's likely to be raining a lot. I was thinking Danskros, but they're hard to find in my width, not to mention $$$.
