I havent taken mine out of the country, but I have taken them on trips. I have a funny little story. We went to my husbands college town for homecoming with a group of friends one year. I got out of our car at the hotel and walked over to our friends to talk with them. My husbands best friend helped him get the bags out of the car & into our room. Of course, his best friend got my bag, loaded with my sex toys. Somehow, one of the toys got turned on and he kept asking my husband "whats that noise?" . My husband said his best friend looked in the bag turned the toy off, and started laughing. I couldnt figure out why he was smiling at me that evening all wierd. After a few drinks, he let the cat out of the bag.....everyone had a laugh on me. I think I had the last laugh, though, because we sure had fun with those toys that weekend! Moral of the story......take the batteries out while traveling.
