Dear Cuz Gary, That is true... lucky for us we are not going to be on the smaller planes. Mayor Phillip is picking us up in Manchester, from the plane we fly over on. Now I don't know about the planes from their homes to Philly, but from Philly on we are on the large planes. Bt it is something everyone needs to think about when packing.
