And about 20-30 minutes it was out turn

Me: Vacation

CBP : Are you staying with anyone?
Me : No we got a place to stay.

CBP: put your fingers on the machine and took my photograhp too and GBAM the Big Stamp

Next he tooK Wifey's passport checked for VISA and also looked to see if its really her. Did her bio metric and GBAM the
CBP: What food item do you have
ME: Its Sausage ... Gala to be precise. Do you know Gala i asked him.


And off we went to get our bags and that took 1 minute. Next was the second CBP section. They took the form and asked us to see the Agric guys.

They asked what we had again and we told them which bags had the Gala. they scanned all bags and after which they askwd us to open. They tool the Gala out and the guy saw chewing stick looked at it oooooo and gave it back.

and Off we went. Welcome to America.

There was this Lady CBP elderly woman she just dey send people go secondary my mind cut small make i not lie. Na wife just dey ginger me sef.

Today was a day to remember..
We were to travel to Tx via IAD, that's Washington Dulles intl airport.
Ok...i tried to check in online and discovered that we had to pay for backages we wanna check in. We only had space for a little carryone not even full size. This was what we selected unknowingly cos it was cheap. United airlines.
So we had to reshuffle our Luggages, that tooj some time...then we headed to the Airport from Maryland. My inlaw was driving too fast...so he got pulled d over and was given a ticket. He was 20miles faster. That took us some time too. U need to see how the police guy was damn so respectful. Using Sir all tru.
Well we got to the airport...quickly checked in..in our rush.. My inlaw checked the wrong boarding gate. We headed to the wrong gate and realised on getting there. Men see Airport. We had to wait for a train that comes every 4 minutes to take us to whichever gate we heading. We are really backward in Nigeria. Damn!!!
Well we asked and had to rush back...took a train heading to the right gate. After getting off...u start another journey... Looking for the gate. We got to where all thr Ds are and realised we had to take a shuttle again. The shuttle are also working with programmed scheduled time. Well we entered and the driver shut the doors at the exact time and ledt to the section where D and others gates with D are. Now we had to start looking for our right D, Which is D-1. Another journey again. (Airport big no be small) We ran just to meet up...unfortunately....the boarding door was gate was shut. We could see them detaching the tunnel from the plane. WE MISSED THE FLIGHT. Note we have so many gates A,B,C,D......and ao on and each gates have numbers some over 50. You have to go to the exact one on the ticket.if its B-52. U look for B-52, there are signs to guide. Thats how big the airport is. The United official spoke nicely and told us to go to the customer service. We did and oh yeah...they got another flight for us for free. We were re-routed tru Chicago, 1hr30mins flight., then we had a 1hr lay over. Getting to Chicago..time changed by an Hour. Thats the 1hr lay over. After which we boarded and landed in Dallas.in 1hr 57mins.
Thanks to United Airlines.

I forgot to add. I sat with a racist on the plane to Texas. Lol!
From the moment he saw i was to sit by him. I saw his countenance and immediately knew he was a racist. As we were in the air..he started complaining that I was using my body to touch him. I adjusted abit....and ignored him. As God will have it, he dozed off and used his orange head to hit my shoulders, Omo if u see as i flare up, hey bro, u sit up ok and never hit me with your head again(forming ascent). The way i talked with my voice raised, everyone close looked at our direction. The flight attendant nearby came to ask what was wrong, i told her, tell this guy here to put his head straight up and not hit me again cos he complained a couple of mins ago my body was touching him while im just sitting like everyone else ( i was forming ascent) cheesy. I stood up immediately to the rest room, everyone around immediately knew what was going on, one particular white guy, winked and smiled at me. U need to see the face of the racist...it was red with anger....the guy nor fit sleep again.
