The Rugs

I know you have all been wondering, did the rugs make it? We brought back our 3 high-value rugs in a burlap suitcase! We brought our rugs back up to Oriental Carpet and they "packaged" them for us! Really pretty amazing!

When we arrived in Houston, we of course got pulled to receive "extra attention" from airport security and our bags went through a thorough screening. Of course they were most interested in the burlap suitcase, which they of course knew contained at least one magic carpet. So it goes through the x-ray and then the screener needed to look a little closer at it. He then took out his pocket knife, I seriously was about to have a heart attack! Seeing the fear in my eyes, he instantly explained that he was looking for bugs that live in the burlap. Thankfully the bag was finally passed through customs and we were on our way.

Below are pictures of the suitcase and how tightly 3 rugs were packed in it!
