I will try to appreciate every minute of the tour cause I know a few days after I am back I would wish I was travelling again so I am going to try and remember that!!

I love the airport I am always the one picked to get the explosive swab!! I worry that I will just look nervous and end up getting searched! I freak out that someone with drugs on their hands will touch my bag... or my bag will rest against someones that has drugs so mine will give a reading hahaha paranoid I know but I watch watch too much Customs and Border Control!!
I really love animals too and always want to play with the cute customs dogs but at the same time dont want to attract their attention and get searched again!!

I was at the Brisbane airport once and this guy asked me to go with him as i'd been chosen to have a random bag search, I said "choice" and he asked why I was so excited. I said i'd always wanted to have that done and it would be a good story to tell my friends back home. He then said to one of his helpers just x-ray the bag. They did and I could go. I was anoyed they didn't search it.

I must always go white cause they ask if I am ok!
When I went into America last time I juts declared everything that I could think of that they might want to see and they just smiled and said Welcome to America!!

when I went last time my thumb and pointer finger on my right hand where finger printed when I passed through customs, I was told now that they do all your fingers on both hands. Is that true?

I can't even remember if I got finger printed. Was it done with a scanner? cause if it was then I think I had it done. I know once when I was flying to Toronto I had to change planes in LA and I some how got on the wrong escalator and walked outside. If i'd wanted to I could have just kept on walking and been in the US. I ended up going to the Air NZ check in desk and said I think I made a mistake. I couldn't believe how easy it happened, and this was after 9-11

yeah it wasnt ink printing.They asked if I was left or right handed and I am a rightie so that did my thumb and pointer finger. Might have just been someone winding me up about getting both hands done.

haha could have made a break for the city huh?
