Going Home!!!!
... airport experiences that are going to follow.
The airports...well let’s see. After having had the worst experience at an airport in Milan I was pretty much ready for anything at this final stage in my overseas journey because anything could have gone wrong, especially considering I was an illegal immigrant!

In the embassy, I was told that the consul who handled such things was in Reunion, and his replacement was extremely busy doing two jobs.
