Arriving before sunrise. Have about 2h for breakfast and good-byes. Disembark around 9am. Everything is well organized but still the stress level increases right after leaving the ship: First we have a bit trouble finding Bianca’s carry-on luggage. Then we stand in the wrong spots according to custom agents. Then my bean shell (picture) causes trouble: custom agents keep referring the issue up their chain of command. Then the shuttle bus driver offloads our luggage at the wrong terminal.
Long wait at the airport even at the 1st class check-in. The underwater camera is using ISO 800 film and can not go through the X-ray. It causes a pad-down of yours truly at the security check-in.
Back home I find out that my video tape is missing. I call the ship twice per satellite phone for $16/min but don’t hear back. I also send e-mails, call a friend who used to work at HAL and call their lost and found department. Nothing so far and chances are slim.
