Title: Im in Germany on PD!!
Post by: Lillupie on June 28, 2011, 04:38:49 AM

yes,
 my wonderful now fiance has paid for all of my supplies. Well here is the story, we thought it would be cheaper to put them on the plane. Delta told him on the phone that if it is medical it is for free, just have a letter from the doctor.
 My then bf is in the ARMY active duty, sohis luggage is for free anyway. Well, lol little did I know that it would be planes, trains, and automobiles. lol, so the day before I left it look like our luggage, + 8 Baxter boxes for me to do manuals would be too much. So he packed 4 boxes worth in a big suitcase of his and mailed the rest. Mailing was $150 to Germany at an APO.

lol we get to the airport, and the suitcase with the 4 days worth of dialysis is told that it is too heavy at 134lbs! The security people make him empty it out into another box that they find. lol, so it is not so heavy...

in Germany, Thom my fiance has his carry on, a laptop case, our garment bag, the restocked 134lbs suit case, I have 2 more suitcases, and a backpack. lol strong man I have carries it all or makes two trips up and down the stairs just to avoid me lifting anything! From the airport it was two more trains, and then a taxi just to get to his Army base! We made it here and less then a week later the rest of the Baxter boxes got here!

How was it for you going through security?  Did they want to look down your pants to see what that tube was???
