Shoes That Are Difficult To Remove

We advise travelers to wear slip-on shoes in the airport security line. You'll have to take your shoes off and put them in the screening bin before walking through the metal detector, and flyers fumbling with tangled laces or strappy sandals could hold up the line. Plus, if you're in a hurry to catch your flight, slip-on shoes will be easy to put back on and thus will hasten your transit from the end of security to the terminal.
Note that children under the age of 12 and adults ages 75 and older may leave their shoes on during screening.
Jewelry Or Piercings … Or Anything Metal, For That Matter

If you set off the metal detector, you're in for additional screening—or at least a little extra attention while other travelers stream past you. Everything from metal fasteners on clothes to body piercings to keys in your pocket could cause alarm in the security line.
If you are wearing metal body piercings that cannot be removed, you may request a private screening in lieu of a patdown.
Belts

If your pants fall down the moment your belt comes off, don't wear them to the airport. You can probably imagine why. Flyers must remove belts before walking through metal detectors, so choose a belt-free outfit, or at least be prepared to remove your belt if you want to wear one.
Belts aren't permitted through airport security because their metal clasps set off the metal detector. However, even if you are wearing a belt without a metal clasp, an agent might request that you remove it anyway. It's standard procedure.
Coats And Jackets

It's airport screening 101: Travelers must remove coats and jackets—this includes outerwear like hooded sweatshirts, vests, and such—before going through the metal detector. It's perfectly fine to sport a jacket in a chilly airport. Just remember to take your outerwear off and put it in a screening bin before proceeding through the checkpoint.
Anything Offensive
Offensive clothing may get you kicked off a plane, but it could also draw extra attention from TSA agents (though it's more likely that airline staff, rather than an airport security agent, will ban you from flying due to inappropriate or offensive clothing). Stories of flyers prohibited from planes due to poor wardrobe choices abound, and, for most of them, the trouble occurred after they made it through the screening process. Still, agents may pull you aside for additional screening if they perceive a threatening or questionable message on your slogan T-shirt. Bottom line: If you woudn't wear it to a family-friendly restaurant or even to church, don't wear it for air travel.
Loose-Fitting Clothes

Loose clothes aren't prohibited. But travelers sporting baggy apparel, such as droopy pants, flowy skirts, bulky sweatshirts, or even loose garments worn for religious purposes, may be subject to extra screening. According to the TSA, you might be selected for a pat-down inspection if your clothes are "large enough to hide prohibited items."

Cafa Maya sucked into Pacific Ocean...
Cafa Maya sucked into Pacific Ocean...
and spit out in pieces in the old lagoon behind Chefi´s .
Hi again Ivan, and hi Joseph.
We got some really big waves and lost the front part of our property. Other places got filled with sand
Here are some pics so you can get an idea. 
I just wanted to fill you guys in.
Basically, various factors built up and 4 meter, 4 ton waves literally vacuumed Cafe Maya into the ocean.
I still can barely believe it, it left the sand clean from the kitchen all the way to the shoreline, no evidence that anything had ever existed , only photos remain. I sent a pic. of the front of the cabañas the afternoon before the big wave
They say several factors contributed to the massive energy that was accumulated to accomplish this destruction:
Earthquake in Nepal may have sent tsunamis over to mid pacific ocean..."afterwaves" lingering out there , combined with waves from Chilean quake days prior, added to the full moon, spring tides, and a swell we normally get this time of year and chomp chomp...as Andrew says, plus "the waves heard about the good eats at Cafe Maya and decided to come for a (big) bite"...
Damn natural wonders...
it really sucks.
But we are okay, keeping up our spirits, and brainstorming how to rebuild something better than before. here is a website to see what my sisters have put together to help us out.
Rey told me just now that yesterday the government aid was approved, so we will see.
We are relaxing watching movies up in our room, enjoying what is left of our humble home (kitchen, upstairs, bath house). Could be worse!
Take care, Kate, Rey, Acalli, Ileana, Cafe , Fantasma and Snowy
