Arrived at the Manchester airport and as usual was not very busy. I had only a small bag and had printed out my tickets so skipped the ticket counter and headed straight for the security line. The TSA person asked if I had any shoes and didn't seem to mind that I was walking around barefoot.
While waiting for my plane I decided to get my steps in and to help stretch my legs before I was stuck in the plan for an hour. One lady was standing outside of her store noticed I was barefoot and inquired if I had shoes. But it was more curiosity than anything else. When it was time to board I got in line and boarded the plane without any problems.
We landed in Charlotte, NC and I walked around there for a little while and was able to board the plane to MO without any problems as well. Upon landing in Springfield, MO a friend picked me up and we headed to McDonald's where ate barefoot.
Arriving at the camp I registered and was told that the same room was being used as a dining hall and I needed to wear shoes. I told her no health code required shoes and she asked if that was true why did McDonald's require shoes. I told her they don't and I had just eaten at McDonald's. She was concerned about a possible up coming health inspection so I promised I would wear shoes in the dinning hall. So for supper that night I had to put on my Zero sandals.
A little disappointed, since I managed to slip through two airports without having to wear shoes. The roads here are dirt and have flint rocks, so they might pose a challenge from me being 100% barefoot on this volunteer weekend, even if I don't get challenged by some health or security officer.
