Journey to New Delhi

I am beginning a journey today which will take me through Detroit and Amsterdam on the way to New Delhi, India.  Keary drove me to the Milwaukee Airport three hours early.  It's a good time to start the blog. 

At check in the big check in suitcase was 57 pounds.  I had to take items out to bring the weight  down to 52 pounds.   Then at security check we took our shoes off and placed purse..laptop..I was asked if I had cosmetics. .I opened the suitcase and took out the bag of lotions.etc....He noticed a can of hormel chili with no beans.  He said I needed to put it into my check in bag.  It has been long gone..He said I could go back and they could pull it out of cargo area.  I offered to give him the can.  He put it in a separate bowl for conveyor belt to be xrayed..I stepped into screening area with footprints on floor for me to stand on.  I removed keys from my pocket.  I still got pat down because I had money belt on. I had to take it off and got another pat around butt area..then I passed inspection.  Next I had to retrieve everything in the bins..I went to gate D43..So here I am sitting on the floor typing on my cell phone. Another hour to wait.
