19. How many stamps are in your passport? Talk about your worst border crossing experience.
I had to open it and count. Got 83 stamps on it since december 1998, that's an average of one trip a month give or take for 7 years. Not bad
Worse one ever was landing with Delta in Cincinnati in january 2002 on my way to Vegas. Stood two hours an half in line for immigration after flying 8 hours, missed the plane, had to sleep in a Ramada inn that was last refurbished in the 70's. Good times. I never stop in the US anymore, if I need to go to Vegas and there is no direct flight, I do a stop in Europe, London or Amsterdam and fly direct from there. Immigration bacame so ridiculous that u miss ur plane each time.
Had a good time more recently on our way back from Vegas with Sam and a friend. Felt asleep at takeoff (not difficult after 5 days and nights in Vegas...heheh), woke up with plane shaking, pilot announcing an emergency landing because we have an oil leak. Went down in spiral really quick, landed in between fire trucks. Fireman in full gear made us leave the aircraft. They put us in an unused part of the terminal in Amaritto Texas, no food no water no news for 8 hours. I found that if u went to the far end of it, glued to the fence, u were geting a wifi signal, so we spent our day on the Net at least. Finaly that snet another aircraft, you had to have your original boarding pass to get on (they left 30 passengers there...ggghh) and we landed in Atlanta shortly after. ONly to go to another crappy hotel for the night, and believe it or not this is where I had one of the very best wines of my life. My friend Greg gave me two very nice bottles of Californian wine for me to bring back home and taste with my snob French friends. We decided to open them in an effort to turn a bad day into something better and we were soo right! (Did I just said two bottle of Calif wine were among the best ones I ever had? ggghhh)
