How cold were the bottles when you opened them? Did you open some cold before you left and they were fine?

The bottles were sealed before the trip, so there's no way extra CO2 made its way into the bottles and overcarbed your beer on the trip. If they're overcarbed after the trip, they're overcarbed before the trip.
Maybe they're not overcarbed at all? Were they being shaken on the trip? Were they cold on the trip? If not, did you chill them for a few days after the trip and before opening?
If you shake up a warm beer bottle, put it in an ice chest for an hour to get it cold and then open it, you'll still have a foamy mess. It has to settle for a day or two and reabsorb the CO2.

Probably what happen. They got shaken up and then i chilled them. Its weird cause this is the first time it happened and on different beers so really unusual.
Thx
