Airport Adventures

In Amsterdam, the airport person who checks passports, kept looking down at my passport and looking up at me about FIVE times before he stamped me in. That happened again when I was coming home. He made me nervous about me being me. It's strange; I don't think I look that different from my passport photo. Come on now - I've looked the same since I was five.

The airport in Gatwick, London was crazy. It was a mini-mall with stores, restaurants, and even casinos.

I particularly enjoyed the intercom announcements at both London and Amsterdam:
- "Please do not leave any luggage unattended. It could get stolen. If found, please reclaim it immediately as it could get DESTROYED." It was just so funny to hear a nice monotone lady voice saying all these things in a British accent then getting a little passionate with the word 'destroyed'.
- "(First & Last Name), you are delaying the flight. Please board immediately at gate..." The lady has an annoyed tone in this announcement.
