Take a deep breath, start counting, focus, have a look around – no punch bags to use, continue counting past 10, try to smile to make yourself feel better, continue counting, close your eyes, focus harder, more counting. This is getting really hard now. I need to use all my efforts to convince myself that I’m not 5 years old. And therefore, it would not be a good idea to lie down on the floor and cry while kicking the floor with my legs and waiving my arms at everyone and everything as much as I can in a hysterical manner. That would probably just cause even more frustration in the end, after being taken care of whomever who thinks that that’s not how a 31 year old is supposed to behave at an airport.
You would think booking a rental car and buying a ticket would be peanuts in the cyber world we’re living in. Nah…not there yet really. All variations are possible, or impossible. Cannot book on the internet with an international credit card, cannot pay at the airport because you need to book on the internet, cannot book at the airport if picking the car up at Copacabana, cannot pay with VISA, cannot book without a Brazilian CPF, cannot pay with points, cannot pay at all. What the…? Can I just buy a complete plane somewhere? With a sexy pilot? And steal a car perhaps? After spending 2 hrs collecting frustration and feeling even more like a 5 year old after getting both hungry and tired as well, I finally manage to complete one of the missions – Fortaleza, here I come!
