When i travel i take individually packaged proteins (if needed ). I had a few instances that the ziplock bags i put the powder in broke, or was left open...(thank you FAA) and i had to deal with protein powder all over m th clothes. Not fun. 

The individually packed proteins are but more expensive, but they are very durable and last...and i did not Neff to worry about contamination, or wondering what powder is in the bags.

I've double bagged my protein powders like crazy since I fear this :P  That would suck so much!  

Thanks :)

I tossed a box of protein bars in my suitcase for international travel.  I just didn't want to take the chance with "unidentified white powder" in ziplock bags.  But you should be good if you can collect enough of the sample packets.

I still haven't changed my pic on either my passport or drivers license.  I'll do it when I have to, and not a moment before.  Some agents will stare at the picture and then stare at me, and I just stare back - but I've always gotten through!

Norway is lovely.  You'll have a wonderful time.

Thanks!  I won't worry about my passport.  :)

Norway is lovely and I'm really looking forward to getting back!  Even if we'll just be hanging around Oslo the entire time this trip!
