Today he is in the process of returning to Florida and is currently, as I wite thisin Detroit, Mi., USA awaiting his flight. He has just sent me an email. It reads, in part...

"I just finished a hour and half interview, "Frisked Twice" by TSA agents, and an explosive specialist doing tests on Bisto.

Something in my carry on luggage set off an alarm, needless to say I will be arriving in Ft. Myers without any Bisto/********** Sauce, as they confiscated it.≈ They had to do diagnostic explosive tests on the Bisto, as it was giving false positive results, do to some of its suspected contents.≈ I did get a little nervous when the explosive expert asked for an officer to company us to another area of TSA security, and a thought of spending a night it jail etc.≈

They could not explain the false positives, possibly a glitch in their materials, I do not know and I feel that they don't either.≈ At first I thought it was a random search for illegal drugs and was shocked when the expert said that it was for explosives."

Gratefully, he has been allowed to return to Florida
We winter on Bokeelia, Pine Island C_G. Your fiancé is getting back just in time for a few cooler days. I did bring Tesco's version of Bisto many years ago afore I realised it was a no-no, one IO specifically asked me a couple of years ago if I had any Oxo or Bisto.

Enjoy your stay

You'll be telling me next that they have running water and colour TV as well. Sorry but that's a bridge too far

They do Mick but the running water tastes like

Ive packed a few things ready (tea/coffee, cereal bars, cereal boxes, sweetner tabs etc) -but... what about little pots of ult milk? You know those little pots that come in travel hotels? Ive seen some in my local store but thought against it as its diary and im not sure if diary is allowed (let alone how id store it safely in my case ). I cant fit a walmart visit in on arrival day, and a whole night without a cup of tea xx

Rather than a full Walmart shop, a quick stop at Walgreen’s or a gas station on the way to your villa/condo might get you a bottle of milk

Plenty of shops landside at MCO but you'll need to filter from this site. Can't advise on which sells milk I'm afraid.
