 Lost in a New World 

So my flight arrived in Sydney, Australia at about 6:40 in the a.m. After getting off the plane, we had to go through customs which was the beginning of all my problems. I got to customs and was told that my visa was incorrect. It was simply missing my middle name which turned out to be an easy fix. I just had to wait about 10 minutes for someone to fix it in their computer.

After that fiasco was solved, I picked up my luggage (luckily it was all there). Well I went to leave the airport and meet whomever was suppose to be picking me up and there wasn't anyone there. Well, nobody told me where I was suppose to meet him, I just assumed I would get off and they would be there. Not so much the case. I actually waited for about an hour and was almost in panic mode when I saw a young guy, very young, wondering from the other end of the airport. It was the person I was meeting and from there, we made our way into the heart of Sydney.
