Ky.hen 5 Posted August 9, 2009 How many jars of pickles do you think I can smuggle in my carry on bag and still leave room for my clothes? I thought I better start this thread here and stop taking over AJ's thread. No kidding, How big can our carry on bags be? I don't want to bother with checking in luggage. I'm already packed but I'm afraid my sachel is too big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted August 9, 2009 Oh my gosh, this cracked me up. When we went, I took a fairly decent size suitcase on rollers and we were able to store it in the plane above our seats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What airlines are flying? You can generally to their website and it will give max dimensions for carryon .. what about your hubby? You can stash some pickes in his carryon too - don't forget!!!

learned2bskinny 81 Posted August 10, 2009 Be careful, people smash their bags into the overhead bins...you wouldn't want those jars to break!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted August 10, 2009 Goodness no, do not waste even one of those pickles. Darn, wish I was going to be there, I bet they are awesome. I may have to stop at the store and get some on my way home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malaika 50 Posted August 10, 2009 Why are you taking pickles? It's a long story and a running joke among several of us who have been on the site for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cajun 46 Posted August 11, 2009 Should we meet you at your destination with some ice cream? Is there something you want to tell us??? Hee Hee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ky.hen 5 Posted August 11, 2009 No, I don't crave ice cream. Too old for that. LOL I have canned several jars of sweet and dill pickles from my garden. Several friends on this board want me to bring some when I go to Mexico for my sleeve. They want to meet me and get some pickles. By the way, I will have 24 watermelons that will be ripe soon I hope. I guess I could pretend to be pregnant and hide one of those under my shirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted August 11, 2009 I wonder what the penalty is for smuggling watermelon and pickles across the border? That may be a new one to them, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted August 11, 2009 I don't know where I could pick them up :thumbup1: You could always leave them with Dr. Campos or Lucy with my name on them. I will be there in Oct but not until the 2nd week in Oct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malaika 50 Posted August 11, 2009 Someone else can have my pickles. When you guys started that I was like blech. I toss em out the window from burgers :biggrin2: But these are SWEET PICKLES and home canned ... can't compare to those store bought things ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownInSocal 12 Posted August 11, 2009 My only exposure to a pickle is what comes on the Micky D's cheeseburger. I decided the first time I encountered it pickles were not for me. Nothing has changed in oh 27 years or so. Maybe longer. I don't know when my first cheeseburger was. I have a feeling I know when my last one will be though.

*susan* 1,709 Posted August 12, 2009 Have you ever had a claussen hearty garlic pickle? Major yummy. Or what about the ones you get from the deli? I think the best one I ever had was when I was about 14 and we visited an Amish town in Indiana. I still remember how good that one was to this day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
