When I was in the US studying abroad. I went to Washington DC. I was there for the Thanksgiving break. I thought it would be interesting to go back and see what it was like. When I was there I was 19, almost 20. I could not go in to bars. I spent the evenings, in my hotel room. With a tube of pringles, and skinimax for company
Well, I almost didn't make it this time. I had not set my alarm. I plugged it into a different socket. Then I didn't switch the Alarm set button, on. I just forgot.
It was one of the worst hours of my life, the cab ride to the airport. You are supposed to be at the Airport. Three hours before an international flight. We arrived at the Check in desk, and 7:10 am. Our flight was supposed to leave at 8.05
I was flying United. They were great, they said, as soon we got there. You have made the flight don't worry. They lead us through the check in. On I was traveling with my brother. The flight we were supposed to leave on, was delayed due to a mechanical problems, with the tail.
We were offered an earlier flight, with a change in Chicago, I declined. We ended up, with free booze, and an almost empty plane.
We landed, at Dulles and sped towards, immigration. I had filled out my brothers I94 form, and I had filled out two forms. In case I had made any mistakes. I handed two in my brothers name. Which raised the officals suspiscion. My brother was asked if he ever went by any other names. If he had ever used an alias.
No
We got to the Hotel, at about three o'clock. I would later realise, that the hotel. I had intended to stay in was the Phoenix Park. Our Hotel, was subject to industrial action, all week.
After freshening up we headed to the hotel bar. We drank, till 10pm, We had big plans for the next day, and you will hear about them tomorrow
