These are what my dad says are the keys to traveling. Though I've had my woes, today was an especially interesting day of travel. My weekend in Dubrovnik, Croatia was so wonderful that I have to write about it when I have a bit more time. Please note that this in NO WAY tainted my weekend, just made it a little more interesting.
We set our alarms for 4:30 am to leave enough time to get to our 6:25 am flight. Our friend knocks on our door and tells us the cabs are here. I am pretty sure that I am still sleeping, but immediately, we are all in action. Like a scene from a movie, our already messy room turns into chaos, leaving the "pack whatever is around you and we'll sort it later" plan to commence. We made it, mentally noting things possibly left behind (count so far: 3 things.)
It was towards the end of that first flight that I had a realization: I never got the e-mail that my friends did about their flight change. Their change had eliminated the original layover, so within minutes of landing from our first of three connecting flights, they were on their second. I had expected to be with them, but was unable to change my flight since I had checked my bag (amateur mistake, I know). Therefore, today I spent 7 hours haunting the departures terminal at the Zagreb Airport, alone.
I had enough room to sleep relatively comfortably, enough battery in my computer to watch a movie, and enough Kuna to buy a sandwich & a Coke, so I realize I didn't have it so bad. The toughest part was seeing the earlier and more direct flights to Prague depart knowing I could not be on them. I took the whole debacle as a sign that I shouldn't have left the paradise of Dubrovnik, but you may have to wait a few days for those details...
