Because folks over the pond exhibit manners (even the French!), professionalism, common sense. Plus, photography is a legitimate profession.

Here suspicion is SOP. And photography? Well unless you work for Penthouse, you're employing the tools of terrorism.

We were planning on flying out to see my folks for Christmas vacation but earlier this week MrsJ announced that she didn't want to deal with airport, TSA and rental car hassles so we're going to drive. Great! I have a legitimate excuse for buying that new GPS unit on Black Friday! Our SUV has navi but I wanted to compare how the portable ones work for use in my car. A 4-state trip ought to be a good test
