crisis in rome

Just as we were about to go through customs I noticed I had lost my wallet. We tried to go back to the plane by using the tram that got us to customs but were turned away by the guard. We went through customs and asked a guard where continental was but he didn’t speak English so he got another guard but she didn’t speak English either finally on their third try they found one that did. He directed us to go to the lower level where he said continental was, but when we got down there was no continental in sight and no one was there to help. We waited for about 10 minutes then decided to look in the terminal so we had to go back through customs and this time they almost didn’t let me through because I didn’t have my ticket yet. When we finally didn’t get through we went to go find someone to get me my ticket to Cairo and somehow ended up back at the tram that we came on. We took it back and after a little walk around the departing gates we found the plane we flew in on and asked the lady about my wallet. Lucky for me it was still where I sat and I got it back. Then we found the V.I.P lunge and got my ticket to Cairo so in 3 hours time were off to Egypt.

first day of travel

so far today
i woke up at 6 and had to wash the dog
had to load up my grandparents van which we borrowed to take to the airport
we went and picked up my grandpa so he could take the van back after he dropped us off
drove to the west side and dropped of our freshly washed dog at my stepsisters house so she could baby sit him
we got to the airport and got all our things checked in,got our boarding passes and made sure we wouldn't have to worry about my luggage in Rome
i got to go into the presidents lounge while we waited for our flight to Newark (i felt fancy)
