Need some advice on this one. I am on a vision quest to Mexico and I am going to be packing my hoops. They will all be collapsible and I see no trouble with any except the fire hoop. Any rules and regulations on this beautiful art piece as a "threat of terrorism" to babylon?
teehee. I just find it silly what we do to feel protected in our world sometimes.
Any advice on this would be awesome based on personal experience and story.
thanks so much!
love & light!

How many collapsibles are you bringing? and are u checking them? You can only really bring 2-3 collapsibles (depending on the size of the tubing) with you on the plane.. i attached mine to my backpack with the clips... so it encircled my backpack (infinity style hoop and one cosmic hooper set of minis)
U can bring a lot more if you check them.... I would say check them since the fire hoop may be of concern bringing as carry on. This way u dont have to collapse down your hoops, and you can collapse the fire hoop a bit and place it in the middle of the hoops, and cover it all (wrap it) with sarah wrap to protect and hold it in place. Your hoops will come out the "odd size" belt..where snowboards and stuff always go.
BUT be willing to unwrap the hoops for inspection... keep an extra box of saran wrap on you for at the aiport. Don't mention the fire hoop unless they really ask aboout it, and obviously don't bring any fuel with you lol
If they ask about your item, just tell them they are hula hoops and you are a professional hoopdancer and you are bringing extra hoops down to give away to kids.
I have never taken my fire hoop on a plane, so I can't really give you advice as to what to say if they ask about your fire equipment... just be honest and tell them the fuel is burned off and that it is safe to bring on the plane...
