My friend and I booked a flight into Girona and were stupid enough not to see where it was located into comparison to the city center. We landed at about 6pm, and didn’t want to go into the city to get a hostel, etc., and our friends weren’t arriving until 3pm the next day. So…we spent a lovely 21-ish hours waiting in the arrival section [yes…not even the ‘nicer’ part with all the restaurants, etc. just sitting…and waiting…and waiting… Was it fun at the time? No…it was not fun…and it was not at all funny. A year later? It’s hilarious, and I wish I would have made a video or something capturing our reactions back then, but I can’t :(. But it was kinda funny to see someone else had a similar predicament and wrote about it :). We were trying to think of the little cafe that was in there, not sure if you remember the name, but if you did I’d greatly appreciate it 🙂

Gah! I hate public nail clippers! Doesn't that sound just make you cringe? On my 5-hour bus ride from Stansted to London two weeks ago (story forthcoming on the blog), across from me sat two Czechs who'd stocked up on Campari in the duty-free. I think it came out about 2 hours into our ride -- luckily for them, it was one of those boxes that included free glasses too. "Best money we ever spent," I overheard them tell someone on their mobile during one of their status updates to friends in London. These days, a delay like the one you describe would have earned you 250 euros compensation from the airline. Know your rights, fellow travelers!

I used to fly a US budget line Southwest all the time when I was in college and I got in the habit of not checking anything more than was necessary. Then I finally talked myself out of this habit when I took an international flight and, yes, they lost my bags! This was one of the major UK companies as well. They did find my bags and bring them to where I was staying, but it was a harrowing few hours when we didn’t know where they were.

Now I carry-on again unless I’m bringing lots of stuff I could stand to loose.
