The Transition

I went into the airport with the mindset that it was going to be big. I couldn't have been more wrong, I had to adjust for a minute there :p
After I had paid my departing taxes or whatever it's called (you'd think officials would be happy enough to see us go without making us pay...) I sat down and had a banana.
