Yep, any liquid you want (well, i'm assuming no gasoline and the like). So I have lotion, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, foundation, mascara, lip gloss (YAY FOR LIP GLOSS), perfume, toothpaste, etc.

AND if you buy a drink or anything else after you get through security (such as perfume or other stuff... i'm tempted to hit up the Body Shop) you can take it on the plane as well.

That's great news! I have a serious lotion and lip gloss addiction and could never imagine having to sit through an entire flight and not be able to use any. You just made my day. :) Thank you. And thank you TSA.

One should not thank the TSA too soon.....:

Part of this action or change is a $$$$$ issue.....

blah blah blah blah blah!

I rarely start a conversation on a plane (I read), but the few I've had have been with some very interesting people (a Steeler who was afraid to fly, a computer whiz from Seattle, an old lady who was going to see her g-g-grandchild, for starters).

It's one of the few ways I don't limit myself in life.

I don't like "single serve friends." I also hate when someone tries to talk to you when clearly, you don't wanna have a conversation. I bought an eye mask for that reason. So that when I want to sleep, I put it on and people are like, "Oh, that girl is SERIOUS about her sleep. Shes got an EYEMASK on."

If I don't feel like talking, I look up from my book, sigh, and say, "Excuse me?" The eyemask would say it well, too.

But, I have gotten tickets to a Steelers' game from one seatmate, learned a little about my chapter's start from a founder another time, and was invited to a weekend of fun in Denver by another. I passed on the last one!

That's awesome! Though I dn't blame you for passing on the last one ;)

On my flight from Auckland to Christchurch in NZ, the guy sitting next to me on the plane was also going on my Contiki tour, so we got to know each other a little before the tour stated, and we wound up splitting a cab fro mthe airport to the hotel.

On my flight from LAX to NY the guy sitting next to me was from New Zealand (where I first started my trip home) so it was great to get another few hours of the accent and the sayings.
