[nagdu] Airports

[Linda Gwizdak]

Hi Margo,
When I went to NYC, I was accompanied by an airport worker and we got to go 
to the head of the line to reenter the secure area after relieving my dog. 
The San Diego Lindbergh Field's relief area is somewhere between the 
terminals near the driveways where the buses go.  Definately outside the 
secure area!

It's good that relief areas are there for us but it is a real pain to have 
to do the security thing again! Having to take my shoes off again.  But, oh 
well it just goes with air travel these days.

Landon does OK without a relief time during our cross country flights.  He 
gets to go when we change planes.  When I fly, I give him only a tiny bit of 
water before we leave the house.  I relieve him right before I go into the 
terminal. I've flown during the autumn so heat isn't a concern to both of 
us - my trips to Vermont to see my friend!

Lyn and Landon
