(1/3/14)
Things that are sort of out of my hand:
o
In-case-of-emergency package to leave with
relatives – can’t complete it until I have my travel insurance details and my
finalized rough itinerary.
o
Get the d*mn cc from the bank (it’s approved,
but I still haven’t received it)
o
Agree to and pay for the travel insurance (there
are so many….)
o
Book first couple night’s accommodation in Paris
Things I could easily do; but I’m procrastinating:
o
Pack the bag
o
Write out my scribble book
o
Print out my itinerary – it’s not quite done…
Things that I have a date to do, just waiting for that date:
o
Deliver my car and in-case-of-emergency package.
o
Exchange money (as in, the cash I’ll be bringing
with me)
I know I shouldn’t be too caught up in my itinerary, cuz that’ll
make my whole trip a bit “fixed”…which is not what I want..but I’m kinda scared
I’ll end up stuck somewhere with no hope of returning home…
Ok, that’s exaggerating. I’ll be fine. If I just pack up and
go right now, I’ll still be fine. I have a rough idea of how I’ll be getting
around, and what sort of places I would like to see. It’s only that
Barcelona-Paris stretch that I’m not sure of. But I’ll figure it out.
Oh, and I’ll get to ride the train from my local city
central to the airport. I’ve never been on that. Never had a reason to. I feel
kinda sad that I have to go to the airport alone; no one sending me off…but, if
I can’t handle getting to the airport myself, how am I going to fare for three
weeks without anyone giving a rat’s ass about who I am and how I’m getting
around. Hey wait a minute, no one really cares about that now. Tsk. I’ll be fine.
Anyway, apparently the train only takes about half an hour
to the airport..and I’ll finally find out what the airport part of the city
central is all about. I always wondered about that. I’ve always gone to the city
central* to get to the malls and stuff, and I noticed there’s a part of it that
looks like an airport; but the airport’s far away! So I just found out that for
some flights, you can check-in at this place (your luggage too!) and then hop
on to the train and get to the airport. It’s like an extended extension of the
airport (ok, that probably doesn’t make sense).
The train is kinda pricey, but perhaps I can find a shuttle
bus that’s cheaper. If not, I’ll at least have the experience of taking that
train.
Ohhhhhh…I’ll have A LOT of experience taking trains….

The city central is the public transport hub for
the city where I live. Local trains/subs/busses, etc.
