Travel & The Damage




So Nic and I are chilling in our Hotel room in Amsterdam for the moment. We are about to head to Brussels for a night, and then off to Munich for several days!. Yesterday was a pretty rough 30hours or so of travel for me.

I started in Sacramento Airport flew to Denver, flew to london, took an hour long tube ride to the train station, took a 3 hour train to Brussels and then a 3 hour train to Amsterdam, and now I am heading back to Brussels :) Yeah, not how the original plan was supposed to go, but we are just winging the first part of the trip.

Nic's pay as you go phone didn't work and the bank blocked his ATM card. So he had to email me to tell me where he was, and transfer money through Western Mutual with a nice fee.

10am != 10pm

Proving that airheadedness doesn't decrease with age, I missed my initial flight on my way to Germany. All week I thought I was flying out on Friday at 10pm, but turns out it was 10am. A call from my brother at 9 made me realize my mistake, and I packed and got to the gate at 9:55, without enough time to check-in and get on the flight. The united service lady behind the desk was very helpful though, and booked me a new international flight getting in a few hours later tomorrow (Saturday). Although this time I connect in London, where I will likely get off and meet up with Nic in Amsterdam. I will try to update with photos and more information later. We are kind of winging the initial part of our trip, so stay tuned for more mishaps.
