My opinions, updates on my life, all sorts of "randomness"...

Well, it's official. My "adventure" has begun. Right now I'm in the Paris airport, waiting for my flight to Israel. I've been here for almost 6 hours already, so let me tell you I am super excited to board the plane and just fall asleep. I slept for a bit on the floor by my gate, hugging my bag, then decided that was a little too sketchy for this early in my trip so I forced myself to wake up. Everyone here has been super confused by my e-ticket boarding pass ("I've never seen this before" has been repeated to me a few times) and yet after being confused, they still accept it....not sure what that says about security... Speaking of security, they tried to take away my carabiner that was holding my hiking boots onto my backpack, claiming it could be used as brass knuckles. Now, forgetting about whether or not that's a valid point, why didn't American security care, but French did? This came when I was already super flustered by not understanding anything anyone was saying to me, and practically falling asleep standing up while simultaneously being jumpy from caffeine, so I wasn't too thrilled. I don't know if it was the fact that I was on the verge of tears, or my "but it's expensive" or just the fact that I was a girl, but the security guy ended up subtly sticking the 'biner inside my bag and letting me go. I'm gonna go with sometimes it's great to be a girl...

Well, I'm gonna go try and board my flight, next stop The Holy Land!
