General comments on traveling kilted.
First off - It's great!
For this trip, I chose a USA Kilt "off-the-rack" casual in PV to travel in. I am wearing the Scottish National that Rocky rushed to me at the last minute. Perfect choice! the sewn down pleats and weight make it superb travel wear. No problem with sweeping the pleats even when forced to get up several times to let people pass. It also got me a free scotch from a stewardess! Upon rising, the pleats look wrinkle free!
Going through the metal detector was OK - But one must remember to take everything offensive out of the sporran, even that cute little executive swedish army knife (you know the little one with scissors, tweezers and tooth pick - which is now confiscated in the bowells of the San Diego Airport!) Seems is was in the front bottom compoartment of my nightstalker nylon sporran, and I missed it, but not the Xray!
Be prepared to meet new people at every turn wanting to talk kilt 
Great thing to get free drinks!
It was hovering in the 90's when we arrived in Fort Lauderdale and HUMID! Rocky's "off-the-rack" casual was a great choice here too, as it handled the heat well. I am very comfortable!
Packing the kilts was a breeze! I rolled them and put them to bed in the suitcase in little nylon sausages, cut from my wife's old pantyhose. Works perfectly! One thing, remember to roll towards the open end of the apron, and the pleats just fall in line that way.
I'll add more travel observations as I make them. We get on the boat tomorrow.
