Didn't do a lot of photographing, because I was enjoying myself so much at the place I was staying at. It was A Relais & Chateaux type of hotel. But first I must tell you guys what happened to me at JFK airport with Jet blue. Well the night before I told my wife to pack my leatherman tool inside my check-in bag. SO she proceeded to tell me, "who's the travel agent here". Well when we get to Puerto Rico, I unpacked my bag and didn't see my leatherman tool. I asked my wife did she pack the tool like I told her. She said "of course I did". Well it wasn't there. She later found it inside her make up case which is a carry-on bag. You know how women travel; they need a bag just for their toiletries. I said all this security and I walk in the plane with a tool that has several very sharp blades. Plus I was able to get security to hand check my film. With no problem On my way back from Puerto Rico, I purposely told my wife that I was letting the Leatherman tool travel in her toiletries pack, the same way it got to Puerto Rico. SO we get to the gate security x-ray check point. It gets x-rayed, They ask my wife, "is this your bag?" she says "yes" Security: please open your bag At this point I'm ready to tell them what happened in NY. Security checks the whole bag, they didn't take everything out just hand checked, and they couldn't find anything suspicious with the bag. She zips the bag closed and we proceeded to the gate. While we walk away I said to my wife "Could you believe this shit." I then said when I get back to NYC I would call Bill O'reily from FOX news and NBC news, and tell them how easy I was able to get aboard a plane with sharp knives. Go Figure Guys In any event, I haven't been able to post any images for the PAW, but I have some tings posted in my Journal.
