ADVENTURES WITH OLAF: The RV Life on the road less traveled and to places less attired. Some say he is the most interesting man in the world, others say he is crazy. Read about Olaf, Silja, "Big Bird", two cats, and assorted characters making cameo appearances in interesting places. Sometimes we see birds, other times butterflies, but mostly strange things no one else notices.

Funniest Travel story of the year
Just thought I'd lighten the mood, this is what this year is all about!
Some times I am so stupid.
I'm going through security at Albuquerque. I was happy to have gotten TSA Pre! I go cruising through the check in guy and then as I'm piling stuff on the conveyor, I realize that I never emptied my water bottle and since I had paid $25 for it in Phoenix, it is PVC free and all of that, it is metal, I'm not giving up my water bottle! I go out to empty it out in the bathroom just around the corner. No one has got in the TSA line in my absence and so I return. Same guy ...same deal.
As per rules I have to be re-checked as does my license. I say I know the rules, and I say "rules are rules." I am quite jovial now and laughing at my idiocy and state "maybe I should give you my passport to vary it up a bit" as he scans my phone for my ticket and grabs my license. He gives me back my license ignoring my comment or so I think.
His machine buzzes, This is an odd buzz I have never heard before. Deadly serious he looks at me. "Hold on a minute, sir. Maybe you should zip up your fly before you go through security and so you are not subject to getting added screening. I may expose something you don't want exposed."
Maybe you had to be there, or maybe it is that I'm very tired but I thought it was funny.
Olaf
