We’re on. Got through baggage & customs & it weren’t easy. Ambitiously taking way too much weight. But talked our way through it til customs. They got a new guy there now, randomly weighing carry-on. Got me at 15 kilos over. Had to go back to check in & start over.

Lucky they didn’t weigh my laptop bag. Or the shopping bag full of gear slung over my shoulder. Anyway, we’re finally on the tarmac waiting to go.

Fires out.
