Travelin Monkey

I used 100,000 UA miles to get my second first class ticket. My flight was spectacular. I got to meet 3 pilots, one for every stop. The one from chicago to Buenos Aires came out and served me a special flute of champagne that he personally had brought on board! I had filet mignon for dinner with rissoto and an ice cream sunday for dessert and slept like a freakin KING on my 180 degree reclinable chair.

I landed in Uruguay and what happens? They don’t land in the terminals, but in the middle of the airport and take you via bus to customs. Except, there was a lady waiting with a sign that said TRAVELIN MONKEY. Naturally, I ask and she says ‘welcome sir, the van is ready’ and i don’t even hesitate AT ALL. I had a personal van ride to customs, I was the first one off the plane, the first one out of customs, and my luggage was waiting there for me as soon as I got off.
My cousin told me that I had exited the airport before the monitors had even said the plane had landed!!

That night we went out through Cuidad Vieja ‘old city’ and had a couple of bottles of beer and went to sleep circa 3 am. We woke up at 9 am and took a 25 hour bus ride up to Florianopolis, Brazil. That is an island in the southern regions of Brasil. We slept 24 of the 25 hours. It was hilarious because everyone on the bus got to know each other, they were all playing games and drinking and laughing, but not us, we were sound asleep the ENTIRE time. And when someone tried to talk to us, nope, nothing!Snoring like GODS!

My cousing turns to me and says ‘we are the outsiders on this bus’ when we noticed that everyone knew eachothers names! so i started laughing my ASS off and people were asking what the joke was, but we didnt even acknowledge their existence. The both of us had beards with strange last names, so he follows it up with a ‘they must think we are going to call a jihad” HAHAHAHHAHA

Weve been laughing our ASSES off these past 2 days.. and found out the cheapest way to get drunk is to buy our own booze and make our own caipirinias por a grand totoal of 8 reales, which is barely $3. We spent the night talking & drinking with these 3 girls that are our neighbors in the hostel, then went dancing Puerto Seguro styles, all the chicks were 15 year olds… but, oh well…

BTW matt, everything here is churasqueria for $3
