Regardless of how much planning you put into it, when the plane tires screech on the tarmac of your destinations arrival city, you're nervous! You may not know what really to expect; Will there be a bank kiosk to exchange notes? Am I standing in the right immigration line? Should I have filled out that paper that everyone else has in their hands? Is my visa really valid? And if not, do they really issue visa's on the spot here? What about my luggage, will it still be there after I get through this mess of a line? And how will I get to my final destination?

And now we ask you: How do you feel when you first step off that plane and onto foreign grounds? Comment below and let us know! | Lead Blogger: J.R. Riel
