Thanks guys!
Oh, and any tips on getting through Airport security as painless as possible? I was thinking that I'll just wear jeans and a white tshirt and my boots, and the only thing not in my luggage or carry on would be my passport.

Well, I would advise that you don't make any jokes at security, tempting as it amy be-they really don't have a sense of humour about those things. A friend of mine's father, getting rather ticked off with the security procedures when he took a flight, responded to the standard 'who packed these bags?' with a sarcastic 'Oh, I got some middle eastern guy to do it'. Sounds funny, but he wasn't laughing so hard when they refused to let him on the 'plane.

lol, I don't plan on saying s#17 unless they feel me up if they decide to frisk me, then it's "Whoa, wait a minute. I got no qualms about suing you for sexual harassment buddy." And the thing is, I would.

Don't wear a metal belt buckle. I did and the alarm went off. I had to remove my belt. Then I got frisked by some huge black guy. Then they searched my backpack. Then my jeans nearly fell down, because of a lack of belt.

Have fun! I wouldn't dream of celebrating!

Have fun! I hear you can drink beer at a much younger age (as opposed to 21 here in the good ole USA).

Yup, a child can drink beer here in public if supervised by a parent or guardian.

Bring a little baggage with you in the plane. IF you don't they'll search to make sure you're not a terrorist. Oh and it helps if you don't have a beard, and look like arabic.
