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

• There was a Airfrance bus strike, when I asked I was told that it was 2 days earlier.
• Paris traffic on Friday IS A NIGHTMARE!!! people don’t know how to drive, there were accidents everyone.
• Lost my flight to Montpellier.
• Tried to call my agency to find another flight and they put me on hold for 30 minutes, only to ask me to call them back in 15 minutes
• The new booked flight was delayed for 40 minutes :’(

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!!!)

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’m becoming a pack rat, before every trip I try to put {shove} more and more stuff in my bags
My carry on bag is my laptop as well, and I’m trying to cram in more and more things to a point that the bag does not stay up, and it’s heavy as rock

I really need to limit the stuff I’m taking with me, so on this trip I’m not going to take 3-4 DVD’s with me less things (except)

• A mini-USB cable (for tranferring data between the PC-PSP-HDD)
• PSP’s power supply (to charge the PSP)
• Notebook’s power supply (to charge the notebook)
• IPOD + transfer and charger cable (music)
• Network cable (to connect to the network)
• Notebook (for work)
• PSP + a few UMD’s  (for playing and watching videos during the trip)
• External HDD (extra storage is always usefull :))

 :? Appart from the DVD’s that I replaced with the UMD’s I don’t see anything else I can limit.
I think I need to workout

Anyhow, tomorrow I’m travelling to Cagliari :D, I’ll leave around 9am and reach 5pm.

Catch you all there
 :D Arrividerci
