It's not even 5 AM in Chicago and we have arrived at Miami Intl Airport just waiting to board and finish the last leg of our trip. Today was probably the worst experience I've had with TSA people and getting through security. Of course the woman says the priority access line is closed and then amazingly we get to the checkpoint and WHOA, nope, priority access is wide open. We then proceed to stand in line with all of the green circle travelers, I know I'm on a soapbox right now but today really almost pushed me over the edge. We had a guy trying to carry coffee thru security, one guy tried to carry 2 of his kids through with belts, shoes, sweatshirts on and then is amazed when he is asked to go through again. One guy decided to take his belt off a bit too early and his pants were a uhhhhhh a bit too big.
A bit earlier in the morning, we landed in Miami at 3 AM Chicago time, this woman was reaming out her husband and it was so funny to me. I felt bad for him but the stuff coming out of this woman's mouth was just hilarious. They hadn't even opened security yet and she was complaining how slow it was, uhhh it was open yet, hint 1 which her husband told her. She then started going on about 9/11 and how if they would have checked for liquids on 9/11 we wouldn't have to take them out of our bags now, so many things wrong with her statement I don't know where to begin. She then goes on to say that if security makes her take her plastic bag out of her bag she is going to let someone have it. It's now been about an hour and this woman's material was just priceless.
I finally made it to security and of course think I'm getting in the faster line only to get in behind this husband wife combo that have 2 jackets each, scarves, duty free, luggage, carry-ons, and personal items. It took them close to 10 min just to strip down and get ready to get through security.
We spent the weekend in Rio De Janerio, Brazil and it was amazing. The weather was so so on Saturday but in the high 80s and sunny on Sunday. Sunday we made it up to see the Christ and I got a ton of pictures so I will be sure to post those when I get home today or later this week. We stayed at Copacabana beach and went to Ipanema beach as well. Since the weather was a little off I was the only one in my suit so I went in the water and the waves were just awesome. The water is so clear I could see my legs/feet the whole time. A far cry from the beaches of Florida and Mexico that I have become accustomed to.
I will post more later, just filling everyone in on the drama of TSA security and the hilarity of some of the people that are out there.
Cheers
