Sounds like a great vacation. I've traveled to those locations but during safer times. Glad you & your family made it home safely.
I travel for work and I know that feeling of missing weight st the 1530 position. I've never traveled for work out of state and brought a firearm. However I now always check a bag. Yeah it's a pain in the butt and yes some risk for delayed bags, but I see every time my bags is scanned into an aircraft so I don't so much worry. I check a bag because I travel with a good locker and a small fixed blade. (ESEE 4P). I haven't always done that, even a few years ago, I didn't really worry about it, but because I do travel into urban areas, I often don't really have a choice where I'm working or staying in terms of a hotel, so I definitely want to carry something that affords a measure of protection. It's not a firearm, but it does have its purpose. My EDC and gear I travel era has changed as I stated in my earlier post.
Bottom line, I think most of us who spends any amount of time in these urban zones - whether living there or working is treating EDC and just daily vigilance different than 5 years ago. Those that have not had any behavioral changes and spends time in congested urban areas were either prepared initially or has a mentality that I do not understand.
