Ohhh. I just arrived back home and self gifted on things I wanted. My wife enjoyed her self gifting as well. All 6 oversized suitcases, 2 carry on, her purse and my backpack got through customs without an issue albeit I was screened with my backpack leaving the US. It seems Niobium magnets cause the Xray machine to go crazy. Didn't screen my backpack in Taipei on our layover so no explaining required.

Happy to be back at the Ponderosa.
