Welcome to GateWorld Forum! If this is your first visit, we hope you'll sign up and join our Stargate community. If you have questions, start with the FAQ. We've been going strong since 2004, are we are glad you are here.
Now this may be a really stupid questionm re: the return trip back here, but.... for the most important things... like the credit cards, the cash and the ID (passport/etc.) - we're allowed to have that on us? I can hang with having the camera up in my carryon on the flight back because it's a daytime flight, I'll be awake & will be bringing a lock for the carryon to put on it once I'm on the plane. Not so thrilled about putting those important 3 things up there. Guess if we put in our jacket pocket it should be okay? Any thoughts, ideas, knowledge on that one?

LOL! I know. For me it's 10 days and I think I'm pretending it's not! I've got 3 boxes going.... one for clothes, one for misc, one for gifts and misc... but I still probably only have 1/2 my stuff thrown in there. And have nervously eyed the suitcases wondering if it's going to fit!
I can't remember if we have any Aussies coming, but I know there're at least two attendees from the U.S. West Coast.
RE: packing... I could probably do the throwing the stuff in the suitcases thing too, but being worried I'm going to forget something important... and with my leaving here the weekend before AT2, I think I'll start doing my test packing this weekend (Thank goodness next Friday is a federal holiday, so if I need to do any last minute shopping I'll be free to run out early and do it!)
Yeah I have a huge pile as well that I need to pick through. It's hard to decide which items to take for two weeks and manage to get them to fit into as small of a suitcase as possible. I really don't want to lug a ton of luggage around all over the UK.
well, for me, 2 carryons on the way over. that'll have an emergency change of clothes, amusement stuff, teh necessities electronics wise, camera, voice recorder, pda, etc,
on teh way home i only get one, cool. i'll not care about clothing since i'm going home so i'll use one of my carryones as a check, check two bags and jsut keep the essentials with me.
my memory cards, electronics (they don't want you to check those anyway) and irreplacible stuff like my autos etc
the only thing i don't like, i only have an hour at o'hare outbound to switch planes (and for them to swap my luggage) but on teh way back i have two
kinda wish it was the other way on the way back. i can stand to 'lose' stuff more on the way back - it'll mainly be dirty clothes anyway - than i can on the way out

You mean flying out of the UK? Yep, you can keep those things on you no problem, in your pocket, wallet, under the seat, etc etc
What I would say to those of you flying back out to the US or wherever is to make sure you get to Heathrow / Gatwick with plenty of time to spare before they flight leaves, they usually advise 3 hrs and at peak times it gets pretty crazy. When I flew to Canada last week the longest time-trap was for the security checks line, which stretched on forever and although it was moving, boy it was slow.
They also have people on hand in the line to advise (and relieve you of) what you can and can't take on planes which is still bits like toothpaste and liquids etc but there is a Boots chemists airside so you can re-stock.
*checks calendar* have you all cancelled the milk & papers?
