The worst ever…

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!!!)

Here we go 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

Next 2 weeks

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).

Arrividerci

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
