bilsalameh..
and this is a little off topic. anyone having problems with ushopweship lately? i had to click the ship now button three days in a row for it to ship, i pressed it first time on the 18th and the website says it was shipped on the 21st. ok so it was shipped on the 21st, thats like 18 days ago? and every time i call them, the same cold lady answers the phone and talks like she cant wait to hang up and tells me that they received no info about my package from skynet and that she cant do anything about it ok sir bye. and when i call skynet they tell me they didnt receive anything from ushopweship regarding my package. their service is shit as this isnt the first time that happens with me. like its not enough that nothing on their useless piece of shit that they call a website works. i miss my aramex days.

Make sure not to say cono when you are there. Puerto Ricans and other caribbeans use it lightly, but it will get you smacked in spain.

funeralopolis i’ve taken film through airport security before and never had a problem. the majority of airport scanners today are film safe.

hey mark when you’re taking photos with your nikon make sure the film is developed before you leave the airport if you can, either that or when you pass through security don’t put your camera through the x-ray. it seems to be alright with unexposed film but when it gets exposed and it passes to the x-ray machine then theres a big chance that your film might fuck up.

one other thing, the x-ray machines they use for the carry-on luggage is weaker than the ones they use for the luggage you dump at the check-in counter so make sure you take your camera and films with you on the carry-on luggage

this has happened to me with 2 good rolls of film, more info here http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/tib/tib5201.shtml

Safe Landings and God speed Mark. Enjoy yourself.
Dont miss trying out Bulls testicles. And make sure you eat them only on the day the matador has won; not vice versa! :o)
