We made it to Columbia!

We woke up this morning and got to take it easy, we didnt have to leave for the airport until 1130am. We made a'quick' stop at the bank, and a stop at wawa. The bank was a bit of work because we requested "unmarked twenties." Eventually, we were on our way! My father and little sister accompanied us to the airport. While going through security, Chris was frisked, and I was asked to step in to a clear booth. Then, my hands were tested for explosive residue. Thankfully, I passed!

We left Newark airport on time. Our flight was alright. A bit of turbulance though. The flight seemed so empty. I'm a dork, so I counted. Out of the 180 seats I could see (without looking like a creeper), there were 27 passengers. It was nice because we were able to get a bit more comfortable without a stranger next to us. Since I've had a bit of an obsession with the 1970's crash in the Andes mountains, I turned to Chris and said, "There wont be enough people to eat when we crash." He didnt find me funny.

We landed in Colombia. The terminal was pretty shady looking, but we eventually made it to a nice area. We went through customs, then declarations, then baggage scan. Our bags of health kits were pulled off to be further inspected. Thankfully we had the letters in Spanish explaining what they were, because our Spanish skills our certainly lacking.

We walked out of the airport, then back in. The electronic ticket machine rejected the numbers I hastily scribbled in Newark. The ticket counter is closed until 4am, so hopefully we can get everything figured out then.

Until then, we hang out with our luggage in a nice airport food court. Maybe, we will brush up on some Spanish while we wait.

Only 17 hours until Lima, Peru.
