OPERATION NO GOING BACK Part 9 - Final Chapter

"Cool..." I said.

Man. This was going o be good...I wanted to tell them but I wanted to wait for the perfect moment.

We sat down at the restraunt, a mexican restraunt in town we g… Continue

OPERATION NO GOING BACK Part 7 - Uh Oh

As I made my way towards the double automatic doors leading to the meeting area, I made visual notations. There were customs agents and customer service reps in the bagage claim area, a travel services desk, a security desk, telephones and info kiosks. Even as the passengers left the baggage claim,this seemed to be the place to go should something go wrong.

Out I went into the greeting area. I could see the open concourse with both barricades on either side: all lined with people, then a second… Continue

Thats a plan! I kinda have that goal there just for show though because I hate the water and haven't been on a boat since I was 5 lol. But def thats a plan, I'm gonna have to finish college first or do it during the summer time but lets do it.
