On the Edge, Looking Down and Smirking

I really am leaving. 🙂

To save everyone time…and more importantly to spew my opinion on those willing to listen:

Tips for Leaving your life behind for an extended stay overseas.

You can get currency exchanged at any international airport that doesn’t suck.  (Tulsa Sucks)  Seriously.  Just walk in there with an envelop with several thousand dollars USD in it and they will stay more chill than greek pudding.  It feels like a drug deal and most certainly looks like one, but not to worry your frazzled curls.  This will be the most successful devious exchange you will ever be a part of.  If you call ahead..you have an even greater chance of success.
