I don’t want to carry it on...just gate check it.
I’ll carry on the mando.
Such is the plan, anyway...
At least I’ll only have two instruments on the return trip. On the trip out, I’ll just have the mando, and that’s easy.
I still have to buy my tickets. :-\ They’ve gone up in price, of course. And I spent much of yesterday evening trying to decide if the airline made any difference. I’ll have a connecting flight no matter what I do, so I’ll likely have to gate check twice, I’d think. Guh.
You will have to gate check twice, but the nice thing is the first leg is likely to be a regional jet and they will be planning to gate check a lot of things anyway. We almost always have to gate check one carryon here because all the planes are regional jets.
I got my stuff from Swisher!
Ink report: Joshua wrote his cursive ABCs on a piece of paper with the dropper pen filled with Heart of Darkness. I wrote a little bit of alphabet on the same piece of paper with my pink Preppy ink. Then I held the paper under running water (plain printer paper) and the pink washed off about 50% almost immediately. The black didn’t budge and never did for about 5 minutes under running water.
Joshua loves the eyedropper pen...likes to watch the ink slosh around in it! It works great too! Very smooth and easy for him to use...just like Matthew’s Preppy.
The Preppy is slightly different though...the spike where the cartridge goes has a plastic sheath that the eyedropper doesn’t have. Makes me wonder if the eyedropper was meant to be a Preppy but had a design flaw that kept it from working right with cartridges and that’s why they’re giving them away??
I don’t know but it works just fine as an eyedropper.
