Sardines In A Can

Returning back to the US is always a very long plane ride. Thank goodness for the endless stream of movies that they were showing to help pass the time away. This is my least favorite part of the transatlantic flight because not only does to signify a return to the “real world” but also because it such a long flight to be crammed in like a sardine!!!

Brent had decided to purchase two small bottle of Limoncello liqueur for friends in the duty-free shop at the Venice airport.  Unfortunately, he is "tagged" by security once we reached Atlanta for not checking it through security once we reach the airport.  Once you get your bags in Atlanta, they are put through yet another screening upon arrival.  Brent failed to note this and the Limoncello, was, unfortunately, in his carry-on bag.  Because of this he had to go back to "square one" and check his "liquid" while we patiently waited another 20 minutes.  Never a dull moment in Atlanta!  The rest of our drive home proved to be uneventful, which was more than welcome by us at this point.
