Thanks everyone.

I forgot all about bandana's, probably would leave my sun glasses in my car, and remembered the ear plugs until we were on the plane.

The only suggestion that I have reservations about is the self-defense knife. That is because with my unbelievable knife-fighting skills, unbelievably bad that is. I would stand a better chance trying to run, and I am really slow. I would be far better off it I could get my attacker to meet me with rapiers. I fenced in college, thirty mumble years ago.

When I get this all compiled and digested, I'll post my carry decisions for comment. I will gladly take additional suggestions at any time.

Thanks again.
