Holiday trip....

[jimldk]

My first holiday trip for this year is coming this Tuesday( 3rd of June till 5th June)....bringing the whole jing-bang with me to a place called Pulau Langkawi.....(pulau means island)..gonna stay at this Awana Porto Malai Resort....The last time I was there was back in 1982....way when I was still a schoolkid.

I used to dread holidays trip because you can't smoke during the long tedious journey and also still can't smoke freely without making some crack excuse to sneak away to have a few puffs...but I do find it slowing down my ciggie usage but makes me more irritable and thus the holidays becomes miserable for me...that's why after so long(the last trip was in 1997 to Bali) I did not travel..now I can ....Man, I'm gonna love this trip...I will post some pics after my trip making a fool out of myself..hehehe

Anyone out there going for a Holiday soon??...care to post some ..?

Sounds like a great holiday.

While we are on the subject - does anyone know how airport security treats e-cigs? I can see it being a nightmare here in the US.

Have a good time, and lots of good e-smoking!

They are strict but a little explaination with politeness will let you thru..and then they follow you around like a hawk....

I can see it now - they try to confiscate my e-cig and I end up going to jail and missing my flight.

Nah..it won't be that bad....not all the gloom and doom...talk nice , you get back the nice response...elicit a smile you'll be rewarded...I have already tried that on a recent Airport visit..Not one security / authority is able to stop me...

I just came back from Florida, and had my e-cig in my purse.
Neatly stacked between some pens......
I had no problems what so ever.

Thanks Bro....I had a good time....should have seen the reaction I got from e-smoking during the airport short transit and during the flight....gets too much attention....

 

[woody]

Actually it's Sis, not Bro! I do hope all the attention you received e- smoking didn't put you off using your device in public.

welcome home my friend--seemed like a short trip! So, just intense curiousity at the airport?! I bet!!

the island looks fabulous! it is officially going on my list. My wife and I were married on St John, USVI 7 years ago. We try to renew our vows on a different island each anniversary... this year is trinidad & tobago. We just finalized plans last night.

i am thinking of packing the penstyle in check through and buying a mini for the "travlin' smoke!"

Welcome back – hope you had a nice relaxing vacation. The island looks gorgeous – can’t wait to see more.
