I know that I have a lot of explaining to do, hopefully someday soon 
The only thing I can say right now is that I’m leaving for Milan for a couple of days then to Tunis for 2 weeks.
I’m not reachable on the phone, but I’ll try to call my loved one’s when I’ll be in Tunis insha’ Allah 
… Mi casa
I’m back after a long week in Athens, all went well no issues at the office, no problems in or out of the office , if only it was 100% perfect 
Every time I pass via Paris I have problems, this time it was no exception (I’m starting to get pessimistic 
), Airfrance cancelled my flight from Paris to Montpellier without proposing any replacement flight, so I called the office and asked to book the 8pm train but some things just don’t come out as wanted, my trip from Athens got delayed 30-45 minutes, and in Paris they delayed the luggage 45 minutes, I was left with less than 30 minutes to reach Gare de Lyon from CDG Airport (impossible to do at 3am driving a Ferrari with diplomatic immunity) so I decided to go to a hotel and spend a night in Paris and get the first train in the morning (I really wanted to go home!!!)
Got to the station and tried to get the ticket early (just in case I woke late), it was impossibile, the queues were extremely long and the people behind the counter were rally uncooperative and unhelpful so I left thinking that at 7am it would be better.
I got to the hotel, and decided to go and have a quick bite to eat, got out searching for McDonalds or something similar and it turns out that they aren’t in that sector of the city (bummer) and I had to walk to Bastille to get something (I wanted something quick since I was extremely tired).
Next morning (Thanks to my guardian angel for waking me up ) I went to the station to get the ticket, waited in line and when my turn came up I told the lovely lady behind the counter that I had a reservation in my name, the discussion went as following;
Me : Good morning, I have a ticket reserved in my name (and hand my ID)
Her: What is your reservation code?
Me : Uhhh… I don’t have it, it’s surly in my e-mail and I don’t have access to it right now. Can you please use my name?
Her: No code no ticket, I can’t search by name!
Me : ??? But my company reserved the ticket in my name, you can search it via the computer!
Her: No! no code no ticket!
Me : OK! FINE! give me a ticket to Montpellier on the earliest possible train.
Her: [clicks on the keyboard] Not possible, there are no available seats.
There is where I lost it, she was extremely lucky that she was behind reinforced glass or I would have killed her, to make a long story short I ran around to find a hotspot and thanked GOD that I had enough battery for my laptop to get the code, ran back to the lady and give her the code and she prints out the ticket.
Anyway I’m back home since 1pm yesterday ~yay~ recovering and sleeping my head off 
After these few weeks, I’m happy to announce that I’m officially on HOLIDAYS!!!! ~yay~
I’m leaving for Tunis on Monday (NOT work related) to meet my family at last . My dad and camelette and her little cockroach are going there for a week, and seeing that it’s only an hour trip away I decided to meet them. (I haven’t seen them in 6 months )
As you can see from the picture (sorry for the quality ) there’s papa camel, camelette and little cockroach. My mom couldn’t make it, I really hope to see her soon
The other good side (100% personal) is that 2 of my colleagues are going to be there too (They are going for work obviously ) and I have a whole week to pester them [Yes!! I'm a bastard inside 
] - I’ll have to prepare a check list of the things I’m going to do to them 
Hello everyone, I’m really sorry for the lack of updates, but I managed to get my self in a tight jam. Currently I’m working on a couple of projects @ work, and one personal on the side
I can’t say much regarding my work, except that I’m going to a training in Bracknell-UK soon and it involves my favourite topic It will be my first business trip to my company’s EMEA HQ and I won’t be alone
The plan was to leave the 15th and get back to Montpellier on the 18th and leave again on the 19th to Tunis. Honestly with the carbon footprint I leave behind me, I managed to change the flights to a direct flight from London to Tunis
On a personal level I can’t complain
Camelette gave me what I wanted (well almost… and ONLY after some insistance ). I’m healthy as fish RAGING CAMEL, I’m trying to quit smoking for the second time in a month it’s REALLY not easy 
AND! if all goes well, I’ll have a major update to announce soon [Sorry still TOP SECRET] wait for it!
A dear colleague of mine got married last week-end, and one day later another friend had his birthday (talk about coincidence ) anyhow, pictures are here (or will be shortly).
Oh, forgot to mention… My boss assigned me a whole country to manage 
Now I wish I had political power over it so that I would start my empire 
Stay tuned for more updates soon!!
Yes!!!
24Hours to go, and I’ll be in TUNIS!!! ~yay~
Big plans ahead!
I’m going to pack my bag!
Wish me luck
I’m back from the worst trip EVER!!! (I do mean it)
They lost my bag going, I managed to get it back after 3 days (they found it and gave it back practically when I was leaving)
Anyone would think that a 3 day trip wouldn’t get any worse. Well they are wrong!
On the way back I had to change airports in Paris (CDG -> Orly) practically on the other side of Paris, with a 3h layover
If it wasn’t for a colleague at work who helped me I could have been stranded in Paris not knowing what to do (Thanks Helen I owe you one big time!!!)
Guess what!!!
It happened again!!!
Bummer!!
I’m still tired from my last trip
I’ll be in Cagliari till Friday, I’ll back home [Insha' Allah] in Montpellier around 8-9pm.
I have a long week ahead of me
UPDATE:
Ahhh…. GAY PARIS!!!
Thank God I’m not staying more than a couple of hours
Ciao da Parigi a tutti
I may not travel too much this quarter, but when I do, I do it with a bang.
It wasn’t me (honest)… Some personal stuff came up so I have to go to Milan.
The plan is this…
23rd I leave to Milan by car ~650km
25th I go back to Montpellier by car ~650km
27th I leave Montpellier to Cagliari via Paris by plane ~1800km
1st I leave Cagliari to Montpellier via Paris by plane ~ 1800km
That makes a grand total of 4900km’s (give or take a few km’s ), and to think that I asked the company to book me a flight from Milan and Back, not only it would have been cheaper but it would have saved me 1 car & 2 plane trips. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible due to ticket pricing limitations.
Well, I seem to have 2 very tough weeks in my hands. Wish me luck.
P.s. The Gallery is up and running properly, I’ve managed to add a few pictures. I still have some issues with the “Photo” link available on the top of the blog (I’m working on it).
I would have never thought of saying this but “I’m homesick!” (I think I talked about this in a previous topic)
I ran in a little snag when leaving that posponed my trip for a week (inshaa’ Allah) I lost one week, and I’m still looking for an airline to take me back home.
I’ll try to update when possible.
P.s. I’ll be leaving to Italy on Saturday (finally away from France)
