If you must fly right now, I recommend a TSA app to keep track of the wait times. Here's five of the best ones.
1) The United Airlines app
2)The Delta Airlines app
3)The "My TSA" App
4)Q Sensor app
5) Always check the individual airport's wait times, especially if you're flying in and out of a big city.
and bonus...
You can always pray at the nearest cross

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid."
~ The Gospel of Matthew
Happy and Blessed Easter to all

The first week of Daylight Savings Time is always the hardest, especially on us "mature" Americans. Dr. Leana Wen says: "Our internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, is closely regulated by exposure to light and darkness. When the clock suddenly jumps forward by an hour, the brain doesn’t instantly adjust. Your body is still operating on the previous day’s schedule." Would you like to travel to a country that doesn't observe DSL? China, Brazil, Belize, Panama, Armenia, Costa Rica, Belarus, Iceland, Korea, Thailand, and Kenya. There's a lot more, and here's a Kenyan giraffe not following DSL.

If you're flying these next couple of weeks, best to bring an extra helping of patience and arrive at least two hours early. Some airports are asking for THREE hours to get through TSA. From Travel & Leisure: "On Sunday, travelers experienced wait times lasting longer than three hours at Houston's William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) and dragging out to over an hour at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confirmed to Travel + Leisure. Peak wait times also hit an hour at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and were felt at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), which each faced security lines of nearly an hour."

From Mexico City to Cozumel, Mexico is full of glorious sights and sounds, wonderful food, and gracious people. What a tragedy that a slim minority of their people are able to cause such pain. This will hurt their tourism, and with it their economy for who knows how long. I pray that the violence is over.
