Fuckin' Travel Rant

I have this three week gig in Atlanta. It pays very well, so I thought WTF...

Little did I know what awaited me at the airport in Toronto yesterday.

I need to get what is known as a TN (Trade NAFTA) Visa.

The line to get to immigration was *three hours** WTF?????????????

Then an hour wait to process the VISA. I was called in as my plane took off... 10 minutes later I have the VISA.

A fuckin' hour later I am rebooked for 4:30 today.....

Got home at 11:00 after 7 hours of shit.

Spend two hours on the phone this morning getting the project plan put together.... *I hate doing phone meetings*

I am at the airport now. Past immigration, only took an hour... wow.

Enjoying Air Canada's scotch.......

Very surprised to see the currency exchange rates...

You 'merican's coming to Toronto on the weekend are in for a huge shock. You get CAN1.15 for your buck...

Don't exchange at the airport... thay rip you off for another 4 cents. Get into town and look for a Money Mart.

And don't use your credit card! By the time the transaction is processed, you may only get 1.10!
