I HATE TRAVELING DAYS!
TRAVELING DAYS are what I call the ones that you spend in airports and on airplanes, or possibly trains/buses or whatever, but most of the day is spent traveling and you pretty much can't do anything else.
Well, today for me was Traveling Day from Hell. First, I was all nervous and I couldn't sleep too well last night so I stayed up late and got up early this morning. And decided to go to the airport early, just in case there was a traffic jam on the way there or something. BIG mistake!!!
The flight from Bilbao was delayed because of a bad snowstorm in Paris. (What else does it EVER do in Paris???) :( We actually sat on the plane for over an hour waiting, waiting, and waiting until the pilot got clearance to take off!
Btw, it was about 20 degrees C in Bilbao, sunny and warm. And green, of course. Beautiful, beautiful green. What a contrast to Paris, which was just COVERED in snow but it had stopped snowing, thank god. Except that ALL the flights were affected. We got into Paris too late for me to catch my connecting flight to Berlin. The next Air France flight was due to leave at 6:15 PM. At this time it was about 4:15 (or it might even have been later) and I said, "Oh, that's not too bad!"
But THAT flight got delayed too, and ended up leaving finally at 7:45 PM instead of 6:15!!! I finally got into Berlin at around 9:30, took a taxi to my hotel and the first thing I did was order room service because I noticed they had tapas, the next best thing to pintxos!!!! Nom. Nom. I've just finished eating them (they were GOOD) and now I'm making this post. The hotel is really, really nice. It's the NH Berlin. I had stayed in the NH Schipol in Amsterdam last year, so I knew how nice these hotels were.
OK I'm knackered and I'm babbling about uninteresting stuff now. So I'm going to bed and see what's on TV. I have a million comments and stuff to reply to, which I am dying to get to but will have to wait until tomorrow. XDDD AND I can't believe I'm not in Bilbao anymore! It's too sad and heartbreaking. But I don't want to dwell on it. Suffice to say that while aboard the first flight I had a little nap and for some reason dreamt about Javi Martinez! XD
Good night everyone, from Berlin! ♥
EDIT: I think I spent about 11 hours today just waiting around at 2 airports, and less than 4 hours flying. O_O

I also need to get some of those recipes from Iratxe!!! I'm pretty sure I told her I want them!!!
Oh god, Bill, I miss Bilbao and the Athletic guys so much already! I was feeling the pang of regret this morning that I was so overwhelmed at Lezama and didn't pose for pics with Javi and Llorente! (It would have been awesome to get them both to pose with me at the same time...one of them on either side. Although they didn't come out of the dressing room together...in fact, Javi came first and Llorente made his entrance at the end!!!) I keep looking at the pics Iratxe took on my camera and...gahhhhh...I want to go back!!!!! *sobs*
