Red Alert

Red alert, terrorists trying to sneak bombs in their carry-on onto an airplane? No more hand luggage to be allowed? I don’t believe the headlines that I am reading this morning. Looks, like we have to be all scared again. I just read that the US even won’t allow anything liquid into the passenger cabin… No more drinks, no hand gel, no lotion nothing… SIGH!

Have you ever tried to pass the security in Berlin Schönefeld leaving on Easyjet? Last time we went to London it took lots of time to go through security. I had to give them my belt. I think my husband had to give them his shoes… They scanned everything! And then in London Gatwick they did not even want my mobile phones (yes, I know, phones - do not even dare to leave a comment here!) or my wallet – almost waved me though like that. Still, I am sure there is a threat somewhere.

On a brighter note – we are off to a wedding to Hamburg tomorrow – wait did I say brighter note? Jens isn’t all too thrilled about it. It will be cold and rainy over the weekend and our friends have a boat trip planned that will go through the Hamburg harbor. And those of you that have met Jens know that he can be what we call in German a “Frostbeule” – someone that can not tolerate cold weather. Well we will just have to see what will happen. See ya, Toddy
