Due to technical difficulties, I won't be able photos to the blog for a few days. Below are a few bullets from the first couple days of my trip:
1. The TSA and airport bars are in cahoots. I know this because there didn't used to be a decent bar directly after the security gates, and the security line didn't normally take an hour to get through. Now, there is a packed, upscale bar behind TSA, and the security line regularly runs over an hour long. Coincidence, or coinspiracy? Business idea: Patron shots booth after the pat-down/microwave scanner station.
2. Ordered an iced cafe Americano at the Amman airport; the water used therein was definitely not Americano. Drank anyway, with predictable results.
3. Proferred a mandatory 'tip' to check luggage through from Amman to Damascus. Unlike the crapshoot-odds luggage situation in the US, the 'tips' system offers a direct correlation between size of said tip and odds of luggage arriving. Or so I was to understand. Either way, the luggage arrived only marginally rifled-through, save some toiletries.
