Yes, and I have had words with my spell check.

I got "back roomed" at JFK a couple years ago when I went back and forth to Germany for 3 days for three consecutive weeks (for work). What tripped me at the US border was a quick side trip I made to CZ on the last trip for some beer.

:rolleyes:

Did any of you have to deal with such ethical dilemmas when you first crossed over into the realm of travel insanity?

I'm a GA, I do it everyday. :D ;)

Tons of fun...

The customs guys at JFK are funny. Mom and I were the first ones of the plane after a weekend trip to ATH. In order for us to get the green light we had to name the 7 dwarfs from Snow White. Between the two of us we managed to remember all of them. :rolleyes:

I got that at IAH on a very tight connection. Made it to the gate about 5 minutes before departure. I was running like a jacka$$ and all sweaty. The plane did not close the door for another 20 minutes because we were the last flight to EWR and they were waiting for connection pax.

What a Crappy day here in NJ. I have to go to Sam's Club and return $400 worth of junk that I found cheaper on ShopOnePass. :D More Miles!!!

What a crazy next couple of days I have. Errands tonight, work at midnight, sleep for a few hours, doctor in the morning to stock up in pig flu meds for belize, pack for mileage run on wednesday, pray for a bump in san diego, get home by thursday and pack for belize and head out to belize on friday and see what kind of bumps AA has to offer.

IAH agents didn't even bat an eye when I listed: Germany, Norway, Russia, China, Thailand as "countries visited" on my blue form during last summer's 5-day pseudo RTW. Dude must have been mailing it in that day.

I had a "fun" time at SFO when ANA forgot to include my name correctly on the passenger manifest. They grilled me for 15 minutes about a ton of things...

I'm afraid we can't countenance Tsarist symbolism. How about a nice hammer, or a handy plow?

Actually my maiden name starts with Tsar, so I've got that covered. I'll take a hammer. That works better on our equipment at work or the clown that keeps yelling at me! :D

I had no idea they even did that. If/when I'm in FRA long enough I'll have to do it.

I can't as it is right before the Star Alliance DO. Two trips to FRA in a week would be a bit much.

+1 on the pretzels. I couldn't stop eating them while I was there.

The folks at the office are mildly curious which continent I'll be visiting on any given weekend.

The people around me have to come to expect such irrational behavior. Like ALCO I always get asked where I've been and when people call me, the first question is "Where are you?".

Give it time, you'll get used to it.
