No Dignity Left in Flying

I just got through security at the Newark Liberty International Airport. It was fairly simple, I guess. No major complications and no one stopped me to search through every one of my personal items (thank goodness!). I hate going through security, though. You’re barefoot and are expected to shove everything you’re carrying into tiny boxes as fast as you possibly can. Luckily I only made one mistake. I didn’t take my laptop out of my backpack and put it in it’s own box because I’ve never flown with one before. There weren’t too many people in line and I still have 2 ½ hours left before my flight departs. So now I think I’ll wander around for a few minutes. No use sitting around at my gate for all this time…

I boarded as easily as possilbe, got my baggage, entered Ireland smoothly, and was dropped off at the doorstep of my host family. They are very nice people and seem very laid back about what I do and where I go just as long as I check in once in a while. I'll write more when I am not falling asleep in between words.
