I'm preparing to head to H&W tomorrow for HT #3 with Dr. Wong this Thursday. I travel occasionally but am far from an expert. Are there any issues traveling with a Laptop? I mean like security issues - will it slow me down? I'd like to take mine because I know I'll have an internet link at my Hotel and would like to post pics after.

Also - will it hurt a laptop to go through an airport scanner? I absolutely can't lose the hard-drive!!!

Any thoughts on this? I'm a little tight on time at the airport and don't want to miss the flight :-)

I travel quite a bit and always take a laptop.

No real issues concerning traveling with laptops. You will be asked to remove it from its case as you run it through the scanner. No worries about damage from the scanner. I've done it dozens of times and never any damage.

Some times, you might be asked to turn on the computer but going into Canada I doubt this will happen.

Rambler, your words are comforting since I too have never traveled with a laptop. I have seen others do it, and at worst, it may slow you down a few minutes taking it out of the case, etc.

Hairbank, going to do some work on your travels?

I've traveled for the last 6 or 7 years with my laptop, No problems and no delays, just make sure you can remove it quickly from it's case at the security desk.

All the best Bank, hope you get all you want, you deserve it.

I can confirm the excellent advice the two posters above have given, as I routinely travel with my trusty Toshiba.....

However, I sure as heck wasn't in the mood to surf the net that night. For me, I should have taken a cd player and some Zepplin or something as I was feelin pretty doped up.

Thanks guys!

I'll probably end up taking it but am not sure. It seems of all the HT's I've had this one is last minute and has snuck up on me. If I make it to the airport tomorrow remembering button-up shirts for the surgery I'll be lucky!

A couple of caveats for this trip..........I think I'm hooking up w/ Jotronic for dinner when I arrive (if we have time), AND LaGrange has graciously moved up his staple removal by one day so we can chat that day.

I ended up clipping down to 1/2" on the sides and 3/4" on top for work today and had a couple comments about the summer haircut! Hope they like it because I'll be sporting an even shorter version when I return in 15 days ! Planted the seed for short hair anyway.

I'm getting more psyched by the minute!!

Have a safe flight, I will see you tomorrow...If you forget the button up shirt let me know I will bring you one...lol...Cheers LaGrange

Hairbank,

So your surgery is tomorrow! How are you feeling? Give me a call if you want to chat beforehand.

LaGrange, you are going there to see Hairbank? That's great.
