Scattering ashes....

Some of you may recall last year when I lost my Dad to a sudden heart attack - terrible time.

Things are finally getting settled with regards to his estate - one thing that my Sister and I have is our Father's ashes.

I'm going to Vegas again in December with the boys. Regular thing - we go every year. My Dad was a huge Sinatra fan - alas he never got chance to go to Vegas.

I'd like to put that right by taking a very small amount of his ashes with me. Perhaps enough to put in say a 35mm camera film roll case. Can anybody advise me on airport security/customs etc. I don't really want to spend 3 days in an American prison for drug smuggling whilst the authorities find out that I'm not carrying narcotics, but in fact carrying my Dad's remains.....

Thanks.

Yeah, bad habit I'm afraid.

Considering I have a 4:30 am start on Tuesday morning, I need to get to bed now and get up early tomorrow so I can go to bed really early tomorrow night!
