7. Hubby and I spent the month of October in Europe

Sat Dec 13, 2025, 05:23 PM

Saturday

a 40th anniversary indulgence. We were really stressing the return through customs because neither of us is quiet about our opinions on social media.

When we arrived in Orlando from London, it took us about 5 minutes to get through customs. Photo, passport and a wave through. TSA Global Entry is worth every damn cent we paid for it ($100 for 5 years and includes TSA Precheck).

We also assumed they were short handed because of the shutdown and people being shifted to ICE. I really wonder if they have the man (and brain) power to really scan all these people's socials. But, if I were from somewhere else, I wouldn't come here.
