I even find that it is considerably cheaper to search for mispelt words when shopping online - especially on auction sites.Spell rite (ha) yourself but don't ignore those who also misspell, they can be very handy.

You mentioned bringing headphones, and I'm sure you are aware of a well known brand of noise cancelling ones, which are often heavily promoted in travel publications.I have found these to be the ultimate "real world spam" blocker when it comes to unwanted announcements, screaming kids, and even mobile (sorry, cell - I hope you don't cast this out for using UK terminology) phones in quiet carraiges on the trains.Not sure how we classify toothpaste here, but that sounds like a good word for scrabble!James Matt,

They probably should have allocated some of that 10million dollars per day to provide complimentary toiletries to travelers. I know that I have sat next to people that are staging their own terrorist attacks on my nostrils with their body odor. Well another great response by a government that has not got a clue.

So much for the war on terror huh? I guess all that money spent on the war on terror did not include providing everyone traveling on planes inside the US with complimnetary gel, hair spray, tooth paste, mouth wash, and shower gel. Too bad, this type of service would probably have made a better impact on travelers than the cavity search for brill cream at the boarding gates. I know that I have sat next to people that were staging their own body odor terror Ha ha ha.

That way, even if someone is using an outlet in a good location, I can plug in, plug the both of us in, and have room for one more person. Easy way to get power, and make a couple of friends as well.

I had to search through 5 gates, peaking behind chairs against the wall to find an outlet that was available and near a chair.

I vowed never to use them again after they left us in Phoenix on a flight to Tucson, at 10 pm with no recourse. Hey, dummies, PHOENIX is not TUCSON!It's fun to vow never again to use a certain product or company. I took the America West Vow of Hatred about 8 years ago and I've stuck with it since. More recently, I vowed never to frequent the 24 hr liquor store on my corner after they refused to take back a pint of skunked Ben & Jerry's. That was about a year ago and man, it's been tough sticking with it - those midnight ice cream cravings can be murder.welcome home! America West is the worst, truly the worst.
