Well - it has to be admitted that that time of the year is approaching

HG - are you sure you are well ?

I'd love to have signed up - but think of my waistline !!

None of that is relaxing !!

Best of luck

Oh - #s 3 and 4 for me - the colours in #3 are really stunning

I hope I never have to totally unpack my camera bag [ Lowepro event messenger 150 ] yes I take the iPad out of it - but the other stuff in it .......

Lets just say as well as camera with 1 lens on it , there's at least another in it plus lens cloths , spare battery, card cases, pens,notebook, wallets [ times two ] cash purses [ times two - I keep a set for euros as well as UK dosh ] a small towel on top of the camera, and the CPLs . It really is surprising what I can pack in it - and then there's the back outside pocket for my Disabled Parking permit , passport [ just not happy at using my driving licence for ID ] Boarding card .

They didn't bother about my Kindle which was in the case last time , but once did ask about the Surge protection Block I had with me .

OH MY - I like that one

EEK

It really is getting a tad strange trying to reconcile the various practices and the relevant rules and regs

Flying by Aer Arann -about to do my 5th round trip this year - 2 Airports and so far I've had no problems .

K-30 with battery in and one spare charged battery in a little ThinkTank case [which takes it and in the pocket beside it a USB PenDrive which I share with a friend as the easiest way to pass him Photos] all in my Camera bag.

Camera bag [open] goes in the tray through the machine and, I think, twice has been swabbed . Camera bag goes with me on the plane even with a small case counting as my Cabin Bag [ Aer Arann are very nice that way - cheapest price but I get my case and my camera bag as cabin luggage ]

MacBookPro aka my LapTop

Just spent the last couple of hours doing computing stuff - installed the brand new Mavericks on the MBP and the update for iOS7 on the Pad .

Thankfully all went well
