Ready to fly to Manila,
we approach the check-in counter
"Visas?"
"It said Canadians didn't need one."
"Return ticket?"
"Can we buy it later?"
Head shake.
The airline kiosk charges double the online price.
Airport wifi hates me.
I purchase a chocolate muffin for cafe internet.
After I misplace my regular credit card,
My back-up card creates hurdles.
Minutes from our check-in cut-off, my regular card appears.
Loading...
Uncharacteristically, I pray, tearing up.
Success!
Ethan waits in a long baggage-check line.
Hell no!
At staff check-in, a quick explanation earns speedy service.
Victory!
I sprint back for the forgotten muffin.

Here's the proof we actually made it out of the KLIA2 airport that day. Philippines will be up next :D
