Travel blows. Check-in and the new Gestapo security system are ridiculous. A guy in the security line next to me tried to get a BB gun through the x-ray machine and halted the entire checkpoint so they could call over a cop to check the guy's bag. That, after the check-in melee, almost made me miss my flight. Once I got through I almost left without my watch, and that only happened once I went "Oh yeah, suitcase." It's a small miracle I got everything on board for this flight. Now I get to repeat the process twice more before my travel day ends at 5am by my body clock. That won't be so hard, but the following day in Spain will be since there it'll be around noon once I'm in Santander. But after the fiasco that is American air travel, I'm looking forward to both getting the hell out of the US and taking a vacation to Europe.
