The gangs all here..... sans checked bags
The last of The Fuzz and Wambulance arrived (me) got in at 3am. Driving to Kochi from the airport at that time of morning India looks a hell of a lot like the Trashghanistan countries I work and live in. Last time I was India was quite a while ago, forgot some of the similarities between the two regions. The rest of team arrived ahead of me, what did not arrive ahead of me is all their luggage, oh shit. Anybody got a spare goat or something we can sacrifice real quick at a nearby temple in order to get their bags quickly? Is this Vishnu's purview? One of the thousand deities has to have luggage as a collateral duty at the least.
...... not even a mouse.
Wait, so we are really doing this?
- Flight - check - Camera - check - Inappropriately small sized bag for too few cloths - check - Passport/Visa - We'll see if they check - Sanity - 404 Error - Electronics bag full of way to many electronics, even though they say you "only have to take out your laptop, leave everything else in your bag..... Who's bag is this? Sir you have too many electronics in your electronics bag.... I know he said you only had to take out your laptop but that is too many electronics... What is this thing? A custom mobile charger, it looks like a bomb, we are going to have to scan each thing individually... No, sir, it has no bearing that this is the FORTH airport today that you are flying through and we are the only airport that has a random problem with you having electronics, in your electronics bag" - double check
US Navy Corpsman, now DoD contractor. This race won't be the craziest or nearly the most dangerous thing I have done, but hopefully it'll give them a run for their money.
