Two Very Important Lessons

1. If you choose to chew gum during the flight, don't fall asleep with it in your mouth.  When you wake up, it may very well be in your hair and/or shirt.
2. Using an ATM card internationally may be difficult. Even after you fill out a form with your bank, stating where & when you may be using your card, it may be retained for "security reasons". Also, don't use the foreign ATM on a Sunday, in a small town in which you will not be returning, especially when your bank in the US is closed on Monday as well. You will not get your card back. Ever. More than likely.

Other than that, good times!
