Great discussion! One concern I have is how animals are allowed to fly in the cabins when so many people have allergies!? I flew to a conference in LA some years ago and met up with a fellow who flew, unknowingly with an animal under the seat in front of him! He got so sick that he ended up in a hospital in LA and missed part of the conference. He was launching a law suit vs Air Canada! Fridge magnets are great souvenirs as is local art from the countries you visit. Photographs from photographers (Gary) are also wonderful to have! :)
