well\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I had <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>set<\/strong> my alarm for 4AM so we could leave and be at the airport before 5:30am\u2026 the lines and checking through customs can get pretty slow\u2026 I did not start the night too good as I had a hard <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>time<\/strong> getting to sleep then woke at 2am and 3am\u2026 I should of gotten up at the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>point<\/strong> but figured a few more minutes would be ok\u2026 well those few turned into an Oh Shit look at 5:14am when I raised up and looked at the clock\u2026 In a mad rush I threw all my stuff in the bags that I had hoped to neatly pack\u2026 grabbed my stuff and trucked it down to a waiting partner\u2026 we threw stuff in the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>car<\/strong> and off to the airport\u2026 go there at about 5:35am\u2026 not bad in my books\u2026 then things got worse\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Checked in, got boarding pass, filled out the US customs forms and checked through the first <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>check<\/strong> <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>point<\/strong>\u2026 the sign says <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>turn<\/strong> off your <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>cell<\/strong> phones and electronics while going through customs\u2026 I turned off the company <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>cell<\/strong> and \u2026\u2026 couldn\u2019t find my personal\u2026 looked in all the bags\u2026 CRAP\u2026 it must of fallen out in the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>car<\/strong>\u2026 had my partner guard the bags while I made a sprint back to the rental <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>car<\/strong>\u2026 checked everything\u2026 not there\u2026 oh well, it is lost and I will just <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>turn<\/strong> that in as lost\u2026 run back to the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>line<\/strong>, get through the first <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>check<\/strong>\u2026 at least I was sharp enough to remember to take my tickets and passport when I went out\u2026. grabbed our bags and went to the customs <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>line<\/strong>, which now was out the 2nd door\u2026 as we twisted and turned back and forth in the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>line<\/strong> I just figured I would <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>turn<\/strong> it a lost phone and go buy a new <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>one<\/strong>\u2026 but wait\u2026 half why through I am pulling my jacket and \u2026. <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>hell<\/strong> I had put the damn phone on my belt not in my pocket or in the bags\u2026 I never do that when I am out\u2026 whew!\u2026 phone found\u2026 a <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>lot<\/strong> more twisting and checking and questions at the counter and we are through to drop our checked bags\u2026 dumped those and got on in to the waiting area\u2026 I had to have some <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>water<\/strong>\u2026 fat man running is not a pleasant thought or site so no pictures\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>We still had 45 minutes till <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>plan<\/strong> <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>time<\/strong> so we got to <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>set<\/strong> and I enjoyed my banana and <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>water<\/strong> for <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>breakfast<\/strong>\u2026 a bit thin but so was our <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>time<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We got on the plane\u2026 it was cold and the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>sun<\/strong> was just starting to come
