Book Description
Chapter One In this chapter is the information needed to prepare for your journey and what to as well as what not to pack in your luggage. So let’s get right to it and make your next trip a safe and more pleasurable experience. First off let’s get you in the mindset for flying and the need for planning. When planning a trip one usually has a certain destination in mind. Whether your destination is for business or pleasure the principals are the same. There is always how long are you staying and what to bring? The how long are you planning to stay is usually already established in most cases. However, in the case of the business traveler whose schedules is determined by the office, a client, or even flight schedules may dictate ones planning. This usually means everything is up in the air and can leave a lot to be desired. With this in mind whether business or pleasure the basics still apply. So let’s look at the traveler that is planning a pleasure trip. In this case the time to think about the airport is when you start planning your trip. Since the events on September 11, 2001, the whole mind set of traveling has been put on it ear so to speak. As it is with most individuals, myself included before I became a Transportation Security Officer (TSO) with the (TSA) in 2002, the name of the game was haphazard packing as a rule of thumb. This is what I call having most of the items in your luggage placed there the night before your departure. Usually these items are things that never get used in the course of ones travels. Such items as too many shoes, clothing, unnecessary foods and some toys are among the many things that are packed in luggage across this nation that need not be included. I am sure most of you know exactly what I am talking about. A good example is when I went sailing on a 32 foot sail boat in the Caribbean for a week with my daughter and son-in-law in 2000. I had packed enough clothes for a week only to use half the items packed. In this case I really only needed a swimsuit, several shirts, two pairs of shoes and traveling clothes. What is my style? There are other types of packers that travel the skyways. One of these is the individual that packs like the ones you might see in the movies or in one of your favorite television programs or commercials. Opening the dresser drawers and just stuffing items in the luggage. These individuals, while in their own rights, see no harm in the form of packing, however, they will have some difficulties at the airport. This form of packing makes inspection of their personal items by TSA difficult at best. With all the modern x-ray equipment used in today’s airports and new technologies being developed continuously, it is still up to the TSO to determine the nature of the items within your luggage. And this form of packing has and does create problems for these passengers. Ways to avoid this will be addressed later in this chapter. Then there is the traveler at the other end of the packing spectrum that has everything folded and arranged perfectly so that everything within that piece of luggage has a rhyme and a purpose for its placement. This can be either a male or a female doing the packing. These types of pack jobs are in themselves great to look at and for the most part we as the ones screening that piece of luggage look forward to. But as in all cases even these types of luggage have their problems too. The level of inspection being performed on that piece of luggage and the individual doing the screening has a lot to do with the level of neatness your luggage is in when returned to you. Not all TSOs, to be honest with you, are interested in repacking your items as carefully as you would. Even though the TSA has spent many hours training TSOs on the proper procedures for inspecting person’s luggage and the items within that piece of luggage, the manner in which the luggage has been packed may cause difficulties in its self.

Ava Brooks is wrestling with the realization that her love for Frank Mazzini—the first deep and potentially meaningful relationship she’s had since college some 19 years ago—is quickly turning into a trite monologue. Despondent at first, then bordering on desperate, Ava seeks to ratchet up her desirability quotient in Frank’s eyes, turning to any number of sources, including (but not limited to) a prescription for Viagra; self-help books she peruses on her breaks at the bookstore where she works; her hair dresser who happens to be Frank’s sister incognito; hypnosis; Lasik surgery; and last but not least, her best friend, Trudy, whose own personal life seems to be falling apart even as she attempts to help Ava spice up hers. Chapter by chapter and fortune by fortune, Ava begins to realize that love, like luck, comes in many disguises.
