8.7 on the pucker scale.....

Øi
So I am thinking that I will get some traveling money when I get to the airport.  Yep all is well until I get to the hole in the wall.  Then thinking that it's a stand alone my attempt to get money was from a box that wanted to change my train ticket.  When I fin illy find what I am looking for I find that the numbers have no letters on them.  I have given my four dilget code a four letter word so I could remember it better, but now I have no Idea what's going on and I need money.  Sandy just got back from over seas and brought some start out euros but not enough.  I cheap ass big ball point pen cost me 5 euro a mc Donald's fish sandwich was 7 euros which is about  $10.00.... I am going to be out of money fast.
Steve told me their wasn't many cash dispensers along the way and to take advantage when I saw one.  Finally out of desperation I went into a shop an asked the stor clerk if I could look at her phone.  Now you need to know at the airport they have groups of uniformed military officers in full battle gear with AR16 strapped to their chest that do nothing but walk around looking for old men prying on young girls to shoot. Very nervously she handed me her phone and I copied down the number/ letter sequence I needed.  Going back to the cash box I got so excited ( and it didn't help knowing that the Brittish army had me in their sights) the code got put in wrong and my card was rejected.  But finially success.....The train meets up with the airport so I only had short walk and a three hour wait for my train.....one of three to get to St Jean Pead A Port but I'm here and tomorrow is put up or shut up.

To be continued..........

  2. Ok..so that one went through... It is interesting to me that you chose Spiritual.. In what way will that differ from the other choices..? Spiritual to me is my relationship with God..but spiritual can mean many other things to others. The cash machine incident must of tested that first thing! :) Armed military...we need that here just as well...or do we? or do they? I like that I can follow your blog. I'm excited for you.
