Then off to the airport where we wait and wait and wait. Seriously, I am glad the line was not around the building this time, but the lines were annoying. First we check in..in the states it is do it yourself. Here, they have the do it yourself computers, but they have to do it for you. Ok, then they don't take your luggage, you have to take it to another line. You get your passports inspected AGAIN, then have to put ALL of your luggage on the belt to be screened as well as all the usual carry-on checks. Then you take your luggage and put it on the belt. Then you go wait in another line. This time for US Customs. After you wait they separate the line by US citizens and NON US citizens and you wait. Finally, you get through that and guess what? Another security check point. Just like the first! My guess is the first is the Bahamas screening and the second is the US screening. This one did require the shoes to come off, the first didn't. Finally get through all of those lines just to wait. Gates A-H......that is all. Gotta go the bathroom, only one for the whole airport, so guess what? You wait in line. Not only that there are bathroom "police" in there telling you HOW to stand in line, where you cannot pass if you are in line, AND what stall to go in. I am NOT exaggeratting! So by now it is noon and our plane leaves at 2:30. I walk around and look at their food...ain't gonna eat that!!!! Go into the gift shop to grab some snacks. I start to pick up a normal sized bag of goldfish...notice it is $8...EIGHT...so I put it back. Instead I bought a few bags of popcorn and some water. We go back and wait. I started getting nervous when every flight before ours ends up delayed....one as late as 9:30pm. Praise God ours boards and leaves early!!! I have never been so happy to be home!
