@heyshae and I arrived in Sri Lanka after the most interesting 9 hour journey to get here.

Up at 3am for our flight from Dubai, we get to the airport to find out that we must have a flight ticket already booked out of Sri Lanka in order to get into the country. What would be a usual problem (since we often book flights last minute) was actually okay because we had our flight from Colombo to Sydney booked! Woo– but unfortunately our flight number was not in our confirmation email. So after 45 minutes of looking through emails with the check-in desk, going to AirAsia website to look for our flight number, pleading to them to let us through so we wouldn’t miss our flight and promising that we for sure had a flight out of Sri Lanka, they finally let us through with a *WARNING* that we may not make it into Sri Lanka if we cannot find our flight number. OH–and they made us check in our bags for the first time this entire trip…nice.

After making it through Dubai security, getting questioned about Shae’s SCARY sunscreen and my WEAPON mini eyebrow scissors (HA!), we made it to Colombo. What took maybe 30 seconds, we got our VOA into Sri Lanka and walked straight into the country like no big deal.

Quite the journey but we made it, spent $3 USD on dinner last night, and are loving it so far!
