Me (Jerry Woods) & the team of radio people from North & South Carolina as we prepared to leave Miami for our Compassion trip to Colombia. |
When we arrived in Barranquilla, I got stopped in customs. They were concerned because I had about 150 containers of bubbles that weighed in at 100 pounds. They wanted to know what the bubbles were for. I didn't speak enough Spanish to explain, so I had to get a friend to help me out. Apparently, if you want to bring large quantities of something into the country, you have to get permission, even if it's just soap. After explaining that these were gifts for the kids we're going to meet this week at the Compassion projects the customs officials warned me not to bring that many bubbles into the country again, but let me go with just the warning and with my bubbles. I was going to have a hard time explaining to my colleagues at WGTS 91.9 how I ended up in jail for having too many bubbles, much less my wife.
Our team will be up bright and early tomorrow and we'll head out to meet some of the kids at one of the projects. I'm going to try to report in during the morning show, so you'll get to hear first hand what I'm seeing. For now, good night and I'll write again tomorrow.
Bubbles...lol..
