Getting my boxes!!!

So this past week was interesting with my trip to the airport in order to retrieve my boxes!! It is great to have all of my stuff!!! Thanks mom!!! But what an ordeal it was!!! So here is my step by step process:

Step 1: Take green metro to last stop.

Step 2: Take bus to airport.

Step 3: Go to wrong terminal and walk the whole airport to the right one!

Step 4: Wonder around like lost puppy to wrong reception office then go to correct reception office.

Step 5: Realize i must go back to the other side of the airport (where i had started) so that customs may clear my stuff. Must get a stamp to prove stuff is cleared.

Step 6: Get to other side of airport and search hopelessly for someone who speaks English and can help us. Find him!! 

Step 7: Learn that my stuff must be searched through before cleared! That guy is at lunch!!

Step 8: Go to lunch and wait for “that guy”

Step 9: Go back to the reception office and learn we must meet the customs guy on platform 11.

Step 10: Walk to platform 11 and wait!

Step 11: Be scanned for weapons and given a “Visitors” vest and go in warehouse to watch customs check my stuff. Guy stamps paper!!!

Step 12: Go back to reception with stamped paper!!

Step 13: Have wrong stamp!! Must go back to customs office (on the otherside of the airport) for correct stamp!!

Step 14: Get correct stamp and walk back to reception office!!

Step 15: My stuff is cleared!!! Now must walk back to platform 11 to retrieve it!

Step 16: Retrieve my boxes!!!

Step 17: Find a cart and wheel them back to the other side of the airport to get a taxi!!!

Step 18: Realize i need more money and walk the whole airport for an ATM!!!

Step 19: Get money and take taxi home!

Step 20: Carry boxes up to my apartment!!!

 Well it was long and trying but totally worth it in the end!! Its great to have all of my stuff and Erin was with me the whole tiem so it wasn’t that bad at all! We just laughed it off and had a good time with it!! And soon we shall do it all over again for her stuff! I’m so thankful she was there b/c doing that alone would be no fun at all!!!

Ok well other than that my week was just ok! I look forward to coming home and seeing everyone!! I wish i was there yesterday!! It was great talking to everyone!!!! Can’t wait to see all of you guys in December!!! Love ya’ll and miss ya’ll like crazy!!! Go Bulls by the way!!! #5 in the nation!!! LOVE IT!!! See you guys soon!
