At the Airport

Well here I sit!! I made it to the airport after some difficult goodbyes I am here. Almost 1 year to the day I decided to do this.  First rule of travel, WEIGH your bags BEFORE you get to the airport.
1 bag is overweight and my carry on also. The attendant asked me to repack, I said, not going to happen so I gave in and payed $340.00 extra to get all of my bags to the final destination. Oh well, that's life.
Next stop Hong Kong after 15 hours of flying!!
