Hey Doc

At first I thought I may have to quit my job to go back to the States but now I have checked with company policy, I should be OK. You see, I am on my 10th month with the company, I don't get any vacations until a full year so I have to schedule my trip on personal leave without pay. The maximum allowed is 14 days. We have a holiday coming up from 10/6 to 10/10. I can incorporate that with my 14 days time-off and that makes my trip happen. SO I will be back to the States on 9/18. This time I will have some time to visit friends I have missed on my last trip. I had only one week the last time.
I am excited for the coming trip at the same time I dreaded for the thoughts of going through the airport security. Especially with the increased security because of the recent terrorist activities. I think all this is a waste of time. Would you still carry the same explosive materials now everyone is looking for liquid, gel and iPod if you are a terrorist ? Here is someone with an opinion which I happened to agree.
