Anyways, a lot has happened, and I'm going to try to cram it all into this post, so grab some popcorn and get comfortable!    Let's begin on Monday afternoon, August 8, as I quickly finish my last meal in the US (a mere muffin and bagel), put my laptop away, use the restroom, and get in line to board my flight.
