One thing for sure, with a couple of cameras, certainly a couple not looking like tourist "selfie types you may get a little more attention than you expect?" Then again? NADA! Now remember my dear folks, we're not trying to spook you. Far from it, just hopefully assisting in a preparation thought process? Bottom line? We want you to come home and tell us all "IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE!" That's it perfectly.Have a good one!
