hey dudes, i'm back on the east coast. for what's it's worth, the needles made it through security, the sewing scissors did not, but I'm not suprised about that. As far as motion sickness goes, i took some dramamine and drank lots of water like you guys suggested and i did ok. I was kind of queasy the first leg, but after that it levelled out. A big thanks to everybody that helped out!

P.S. California kicks ASS!
