Airport Fun - Day 1

Lesson number one: do not rely on the airline to notify you accurately of an "embargo" situation, and be armed with printed materials of weight limits of your bags for your ticket type.

Honduras, as it turns out, is under an embargo for bags allowed until Jan 10th.  For Hinduras there is a summer and a winter embargo.  So I had to eliminate a checked bag.  I had specifically purchased a first class ticket so my first two bags would be free and able to be as heavy as 70 pounds.  The desk agents told me no, only 50.  This is NOT what American is telling passengers in automated emails so I will have to do some research to get to the bottom of this.

It will all be fine as I have to leave every 90 days so I will pick the bag up in March.  I can live without its contents... "I think".  😀 no, I can.  I do not need half the stuff I have brought with me.  By the end if the year I will be able to accurately asses what I needed vs what I brought.

So plane leaves in an hour.  Going to go walk a bit and then I am off!!
