I'm never travelling again. I'm so angry. I had to check three large bags. You accumulate a lot of shit over 10 months. I had to pay $233 to check the third one. You only get two checked bags for free. Then the third bag was way over the weight limit (limit is 23 kg) Mine was 34kg, it was a backbreaker. So I had to pay another $155 for over weight penalty, total $388 to check a bag.
That's not all, it was over normal checked bag limit that you could pay extra for, but it was over the legal limit. You CANNOT check a bag over 32 kg, period. SO I had to open up my bag and take stuff out, 2 kg worth so I could get down to 32kg. But of course I still had to pay the overweight fee for being over 23kg.
I just started handing the man behind the counter stuff from my bag and told him to throw it away. I had him throw away an elctrical converter, toothpaste, a large book (writers market), like whatever. It's not like I was ever going to use it, it's not like I've even gone so far as to read a book in years. Well, you're supposed to renew those things anyway. I'm sure I'm going to be working at another goddamn box store in new f---ing hanshire being talked down to and making no money until I have my next nervous breakdown and decide to come to spain again, which I don't even like, burn in hell everyone and everything.
I barely made the weight limit, at 32.9kg he let me slide.
And then security was torture. I kept yelling at her in english and spanish that it was a film camera, with film, and that I didn´t want to put it in the xray, I wanted a hand-check. SHe was like "no pasa nada, no pasa nada" ...probably thought I was some crazy american. She made me put it though the x-ray and assured me it was fine, like she knows a god damn thing. I GET IT! I'M THROWING AWAY THE OLD FILM CAMERA. ONLY DIGITAL; YES; FINE; OK; YOU WIN
America wouldve given you the option of a handcheck for film, but whatever. THANK GOD I did some doctor shopping, and got a prescription for some benzodiazapines. I got some adivan, which takes too long to work, and then make you a little stupid for 12 hours later. Like, trying to stand on one foot to put on a sock and you fall. Or when the waiter brings you the check that says 8 dollars, and I gave him two ten's. Thank god he was honest...
But then I got this prescription for another one called bromazepam, which I googled and found out they don't even have it in the US. It's super fun, I'm feeling ok now.
But I still hope my plane crashes.
