no doubt i'll get trashed for this too (seems like the same few gripe about EVERYTHING i say!)... but i've brought back wine from new york NUMEROUS times... PACKED IN MY CHECKED luggage.. and NEVER had a broken bottle...i was just very careful about the way i packed it... wrapped in clothes and well padded....

but then... where there's a will there's a way... NO WAY was i lugging around HEAVY bottles of win through airports with layovers...

mimi... don't worry about it... it all worked out well for your son!

as for water on the plane..... i'm done with the subject... i guess i'm just easier to please... since i've never carried water onto the plane.. i've decided i don't need to argue with you all about it... since it doesn't pertain to me!

ok.. go ahead... trash this post too!
