Flying with Bikes - Should we or shouldn't we?

[silver]

Oddly enough, when I posted this, I thought Silver was more serious about the possibility of bringing the bikes than she is.

Silly me, how could I have misread that???

However, I think that reading this feedback seals the deal! I think I see rentals and canoes in our future!

Well, we do have some communication problems. {hugs, Mr. for trying to so hard to make me happier with the trip} This one is no big deal though. When I mentioned it, I really had no intent to take our bikes, I thought I told Mr. that we needed to rent bikes because it would be cheaper than shipping bikes.

I will miss my bikes dearly, but I am a triathete and can run and swim. I can be happy on a mountain or hybrid bike, I'll tell myself I'm working extra hard and how much more I'll appreciate "My Lovely Madone" when i get home.

And geesh, I would NEVER allow "My Lovely Madone" to handled by baggage handlers. Oh My, I won't even travel very far with it. Fortunately I have "Old Blue Jeans" (my trusty and wrecked Trek 1000) to tote around.
