I was all set to do carry-on only this year, but I realized that if I do that, I can't bring my sharp, pointy nail scissors  . Apparently even a nail file can cause problems. I really want these scissors, so I guess I have to give up the idea of carry-on. Has anyone found a way around this? |

Hey!
Mailing them to "poste restante" at the local post office or embassy!

Except - knowing Canada Post, they'll arrive after I've already left  . Plus, if I am going to make a special trip to the post office or embassy, I think I'd prefer to just buy another pair when I got there. But that's a good tip in general. Thanks. |

No problem, I see what you mean, but it took me not so long to send my stuff back home, and it's generally not too bad, of course you could always send it a month before you leave!
Most embassies are right in the smack center of a big city so they are easy to get to....
Well, it's up to you, but having luggage checked in isn't that complicated to my own opinion....

I probably would just buy some when I got there, save yourself the hassle.
We did have one time where we had to put Brads pocket knife in an envelope and just check that - he forgot to pack it in with his stuff.
But then you are still stuck waiting for it..

Personally I'd buy them. Stuff like that isn't that expensive here. BTW- a relavent article from bbc news: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/3828773.stmI can't believe that they confiscated some duck tape- I normally carry that with me when I travel as it's so handy. Also I've carried it in my carry on bag loads of times before with no trouble. |

That article was pretty funny in respect to the woman who wanted to peroxide-treat her friend's hair during the flight.
I can't believe I'm worrying about this nail scissors issue at all. But I guess I have to have some obsession ;-).

on my last trip, i just let my mustache grow for the 2nd week of the trip. (it was 1st trimmed when i got my hair cut in La Coruna) then, i bought a sissors in Italy - after the intra-Europe flight - to trim it for the rest of the trip.
my mustache needs trimming more frequently than my beard!
sissors are another no-no on planes these days.
