My daughter's birthday is on Friday - I have your comment about cool vacations between Christmas and New Year's in the back of my mind for when she is old enough to enjoy that sort of birthday celebration. (Right now it's all about the cake!)<br /><br />I travel internationally a good bit for work and I find that the passport control guys always perk up when I tell them I am a physicist - they think that sounds cool and want to ask me about the Higgs (the actual particle) or "The Big Bang Theory" (the TV show).Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-82097857789772410502012-12-26T13:40:16.656-06:002012-12-26T13:40:16.656-06:00Love the bit about jumping out of airplanes

More along the lines of, "Are you SURE you are a scientist, lady?" Also, the agent sometimes persisted in talking to my male assistant instead of me about samples I was bringing in (the permit had my name on it).<br /><br />I've been tempted to put "housewife" on the entry form just to avoid these questions. But then I'd have quite a time explaining my scientific equipment if my luggage was searched ("well, officer, it's a new type of cooking utensil")....which would probably lead to a very memorable experience with Homeland Security.DrDoyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923421604660796579noreply@blogger.com
