What was your most challenging travel experience?

Trying to get the immigration officer to let me on my flight--they held me because they said I was on the list of government scholars who are not allowed to leave the country without a special clearance. I had the clearance, but my copy did not have a freaking LETTERHEAD. I thought they would have it in their computer systems, but then, I thought, I AM in the Philippines, go figure..they let me on the flight after asking for every imaginable proof that I intended to come back to the country--good thing I went to board 3 hrs before the flight, or I would not have made it!

    Wow, you remembered! Yes, we're leaving on the 3rd, travelling on a 90ft steel catamaran! Huge! Anyway, we'll be there for three and a half weeks. We may have to do some repairs on the driftwood kitchens, etc.,but other than that, it should be three weeks of island paradise! The mysticism of islands is a curious thing.
