I've met Nancy (at the last fest in New Orleans) - whatever profile there is
for international terrorists, she doesn't fit. Sorry that travel is turning
into such a hassle.

May I suggest taking one (1) clarinet in a single case? I have had good
luck putting the case in the center of my checked hardshell luggage,
surrounded by clothes. Check that the case is good (i.e., no rattling
around)--perhaps add extra padding if necessary.

I am pea-green with envy. (Never seen Iceland!)

Have a great trip y'all that are goin!
