that you could argue that you will technically be checking out on the 7th day... at literally the 11th hour. This leaves you wide open to the very real possibility of being coerced in to paying a nominal "fee" by some corrupt official. It would be far simpler to just pay the US 25.00 on arrival then those corrupt officials will just have to try to think up another 'reason' to scam you. With any luck, you will be checked thru before their mind actually kicks in to gear.
Another GREAT idea came from CRACKER the other day, wherein he suggests to upgrade and get an extra baggage allowance rather than simply 'feeding the bottomless pit of corruption'... dammned good idea I say!
