Up up and away!

Well, I´m killing some time before heading out to the train station. Not enough time to go out and see the sights I missed, but too much time to just go straight to the train station. meh.

Here comes a weird leg of the trip. This place has had great internet access for me, free WiFi, and cheap computers, who knows about any place else I go? I mean today I get into Madrid at 5, and I may have a place to crash, on Alessandra´s floor, if I can get ahold of her, which again relies on internet... or I just have to find a place... whether it be hostel or hotel, on the cheap. I´m staying in Madrid for 3 nights, and then overnight training to Paris.

In Paris I should get in around 8:30 in the morning. And as of now I have pictures of a square across from the Eiffle Tower where I´m going to be meeting my friend Eliza somewhere between 730 and 830 at night... and I´ll be staying with her and her flatmate. I had given myself a week for Paris. She says I´ll only need 3 days and should go other places with my time. But where? and how? hahahaha. And then I haven´t really even thought about the italy stops yet. Note to future self. Plan things. Planning leads to less stress. It will all work out, because it has to!

Oh at the very least I have planned one even in the seemingly very distant future. I put down a reservation for the 14th back here at Hostel Itaca. I figure that way I now HAVE to fly in from Italy the night before my flight, rather than being tempted to try the 19 hour train hopping tour. It´s a nice central area to hop a bus back to the airport from. I know how to get here, and it´s a clean and relitively restful place to spend a night. hahaha.

Well folks, wish me luck, the craziness really begins now. I´m up for it... I think...

Madrid
Hope your first train ride was easy and you arrived safe and sound. Looking forward to hearing how it was and where you are.

Good Luck
Good luck. And think of it this way: Less planning=more adventure-like.
