Back Home in Brussels - 27 June

by WendyBirch @ Sunday, 01. Jul, 2007 - 09:01:31 pm

Well getting up this morning was definitely painful!  The worst part was leaving our cabin for the last time.  But at least we will be back on the Magic in less than 6 months.

Our flight out wasn't until 4pm, so we were able to spend some time in Barcelona with our friends Lisa, Daniel, and Leah.  Leah is in Jasmine's class at school, and they are getting on the ship today.  We are so excited for them!

We had an interesting experience when we were going through security at the Barcelona airport...

As we put our carryons thru the x-ray machine, I suddenly remembered that I'd forgotten to take my laptop out.  So I wasn't surprised that the agent looking into the x-ray screen motioned me over.  But it wasn't about the laptop.  He needed me to open the other carry on, because there were 2 metal objects he couldn't ID.  Well they turned out to be Jasmine's large Disney Med Cruise pin that came in a presentation case, and my Disney cruise line coffee mug.  He took some time to admire both of them.  Then he looked at the screen to see my carry on come through the x-ray machine with my laptop inside!  I apologized, and offered to take it out, but he said not to worry.  Then my backpack comes through with the 2 bottles of water that I'd intended for us to drink BEFORE we went thru security.  I'd forgotten about them, until the agent said, "tienes agua?"  He asked if it was for me or "la nina".   I said it was hers,  and he let me thru with it.  I guess by that time he figured we were too stupid to be terrorists!!  Yikes!

The rest of our journey was uneventful and we were home by 7pm. 

What an amazing trip!
