Wszystkich oficjalnie informuje, zyje i jestem w chwilowym miejscu mojego przeznaczenia. I musze sie szczypac, zeby w to uwierzyc! Cala podroz, liczac od Krakowa, zajela jakies 22h. Loty przebiegly dosc gladko i bez opoznien, ale cala wiecznosc, czytaj 2,5 zajelo mi przejscie przez finalna kontrole i wydostanie sie z lotniska. Dotarlam do hotelu przed 21.00.
Dzien wczesniej Mamusia i Karol zrobili mi najwieksza wyjazdowa niespodzianke - podali mi na obiad barszcz z uszkami i rybe po grecku! Pare dni temu zazartowalam, ze nie bedzie mnie na Swieta i chcialabym miec wlasna Wigilie na pozegnanie, ale nie sadzilam, ze wezma to na powaznie! Usciski na dworcu byly bez lez - juz zdazylam sie pogodzic z faktem, ze nie bede widziec moich bliskich przez pol roku. Mialam rozmownych pasazerow w przedziale, wiec 3,5h drogi do Krakowa minelo mi niespodziewanie szybko. Nawet pomogli mi wydostac sie z moimi walizkami (obie w polowie puste) na peron w Krakowie.
Sobotnie popoludnie spedzilam z moimi przyjaciolmi Ola i Bartkiem. Moja przyjaciolka sie pochorowala, wiec nigdzie nie wychodzilismy. Za to moglismy sie troche nagadac, zdjedlismy pizze zrobiona przez Bartka, zagryzlismy winogronami i popilismy winem. Poszlam spac po polnocy, a przed 4 rano musialam wstac. Kochany Bartek, zawiozl mnie na lotnisko. Niezle sobie poradzil zwazywszy na fakt, ze jechal tam po raz pierwszy, we mgle i bez zadnych publicznych oznakowan.
Pierwszy lot mialam do Warszawy, trwal 50 minut. Jak tylko dotarliśmy na gore, musieliśmy ladowac. Jesli doliczyc odprawe i dojazd na lotnisko, krotsza bylaby podroz pociagiem. Poprosilam firme o lot z Krakowa lub Wroclawia, to zrobili rezerwacje roku :D. Z Warszawy polecialam do Dusseldorfu, a nastepnie przesiadlam sie na inauguracyjny lot Lufthansy stamtad do Miami. Stewardessy byly przemile, ale moja wspolpasazerka nie zamienila ze mna slowa, przez 10,5h. Az sie dziwie, ze lot minal mi tak szybko!
Po wyjsciu z lotniska w Miami uderzyla mnie fala duchoty. A przeciez jest koniec pazdziernika! Poszlam spac po 23ciej, po dlugim goracym prysznicu i rozpakowaniu sie. Dawno nie mialam tak dlugiego dnia! Definitywnie zasluzylam na dlugi, porzadny sen.
ENGLISH:
I am officaly informing everyone, that I`m alive in a place of my temporar destination. And I have to tweak all the time in order to believe it! The whole journey, counting from Krakow, took about 22h. The flights went quite smoothly and without delays, but it took forever (read: 2,5h) for me to get through the final customs and get off the airport. I got to the hotel before 9pm.
The day before my Mummy and Karol had made the biggest surprise for me - they made a Christmas food for the last lunch! I was joking around a few days earlier, that I wouldn`t be there for Christmas and that I`d like to have my own Christmas Eve as a goodbye thing, but I would not suppose they took it seriously! The last hugs at the railway station were tearless - I already buried the hatchet I wouldn`t see my beloved for half a year. I had talkative passengers in the compartment, thus the 3,5 hours of journey to Krakow just flew by. They even helped me out with getting off the train in Krakow with my (both half empty) suitcases.
The Saturday afternoon I spent with my friends Ola and Bartek. My girl friend got sick, so we didn`t go out anywhere. We had lots of chats though, ate a pizza made by Bartek, finished by grapes and wine. I went to sleep after midnight and already before 4am I had to wake up. Bartek was so lovely, he drove me to the airport. He managed pretty well. Considering the fact he was driving there for the first time, in the fog and without public signs.
The first flight I had was to Warsaw and it lasted 50 min. As soon as we got to the top of the air, we already had to land. If you count the check in and getting to the airport time, it will come out that a journey by train would have been quicker. I asked the company to book my flight from either Krakow or Wroclaw, so they made a reservation of the year :D. From Warsaw I flew into Dusseldorf in Germany, and from there I changed for an inauguration flight of Lufthansa to Miami. The stewardesses were super nice, but my co-passanger would not say a word to me for 10,5h of the flight. I`m, surprised the flight went so fast actually!
After I got off the airport, I was hit by a wave of humidity. And it`s the end of October! I went to sleep after 11pm, after having a long hot shower and packing my stuff out. I definitely deserved a long, decent sleep.
