Ya we are from Duluth. We have flown directly from Minni but Duluth has been very competitive pricing wise so we have been going from Duluth. It was United, which isn't my favorite airline, but never the less for 5 or 6 hundred dollars I'll fly whom ever is cheapest, it's just a few hours. I have had my carry on taken often, but rarely right as we entered the plane. So as not to hold up the line by digging through for things of value I just handed it over. I've never had anything taken over many years of travel so I didn't give it much thought. It is the overhead compartment carry on I am referring to, and it does happen quite a bit. It was my work phone so I lost a ton of contact numbers. I'll be printing those babies out periodically from now on. just really bummed about the pictures. It was the first time with our 20 something kids and we took so so many pics of them interacting with the beach salesmen, (which they totally loved by the way), pics of them at the Pelican, on the Red Stripe, just so many we can't replace. Just really sad about it.
