Lynda, I have a lot of friends that live in PR. Do you have anything 
specific you're looking for with the gemstomes etc? Where do you go? San 
Juan, or another city? I can ask around and see if anyone has any 
recommendations.

Linda, Do you remember the name of the store you like to shop at in PR?

well, I do have a large tote bag that I take along in my carry on bag - so I
can fill it up and bring lots of PR coffee home with me! Want to try fitting
into that tote?

I used to buy a lot of my gemstones there in OSJ, but the store is no longer
there. I bought wonderful things I never could find anywhere else - I was so
sad last year when I arrived and my store was gone. There is one other store
that is my favorite there - I buy lots of incense, skirts, and tops there at
the store I like so much. I love the colors of PR and my house is painted in
those colors inside and outside. Lots of COLOR -

Lynda, do you have space in your bag for an extra person?

What are you reaching out for in PR?
I am there every year in March or April. No summers in PR for me! We
love PR. I used to teach a course at the college on Puerto Rican
culture - it is a very special place. Very very wonderful people, great
art galleries and museums, and architecture that is spectacular. and, the
food - delicious! I took students there every year, and now that I am
retired my husband and I go every year. this year we will take my sister
and her husband along. We love taking people there and showing them the
special places all over the island. Yes, I will be knitting on the way
there, knitting when I am sitting in the town squares, and knitting on
the way home! I always knit something really nice to wear when I leave
for the journey to PR.

Have a good time in Puerto Rico! I've been lucky to be able to go on an
outreach trip there for the past two summers. Leave it to me to go to
Puerto Rico in August! But, I loved it!

No idea. I just know I lost my needles if Frankfurt because theyw ere
straight ones. Sooooo, I never intend to lose them again. and, flying as
a blind person is not a very nice thing to do anyway if you are alone -
they can be so nasty to you that you think you are a criminal - and you
are treated as one, too. So I take no chances on anything that even
remotely might cause me a problem any more. I'll be leaving for puerto
rico shortly with my circular needles. No problems!

Okay, dumb question - why are the circular ones okay but the other ones
aren't? I'm using circular ones anyway, but geesh, if you really wanted
to do something rotten, I'd think it could be accompished either way.
Hmmmm..grin!

Take ONLY circular needles to be sure they don't get taken away from you!
And, I take a letter opener instead of scissor to be sure I don't lose my
scissor, too.
I knit everywhere I travel - the only place I had any trouble with
knitting needles was in Frankfort, GR. but I do not take any chances - I
use circulars because I know there will be no problems. Lynda

I've taken up knitting just in the last month (as mentioned in the last
post.) I'm about to leave again for another month on the road. I'll be
spending a lot of time in airplanes and airports and want to take my
knitting with me. Will TSA give me any hassle about the needles?
