Kevin waiting in line at the airport 

Me waiting in line at the airport

Today we had to wake up super early because our flight was 8:30.  There was a bus to the airport leaving from the Central Train Station at 6:30; we were only about a 10 minute walk from the station, so we figured if we left the hostel 6:15 we'd be good.  Mistake.  Did we not think that we would need to A) find where the bus is located B) buy a ticket for the bus C) ensure we got seats?  When we got there, the 6:30 bus was completely full, and the next bus wasn't leaving until 7:10.  It takes about 40 minutes to get from the train station to the airport, so the 7:10 bus wasn't going to work.  Kevin, being the little stubborn pants that he is sometimes, starts freaking out saying over and over "we missed the flight, we missed the flight."  Well, obviously there is more than one way to get to the airport!  We walked outside to where the cabs were lined up, and one man agreed to take us to the airport for 30E. He had the pedal to the metal the entire time; we literally got there in 20 minutes.  We checked in, waited in line after line after line, then finally boarded the plane and flew back to Milan.

By the time we got back from the airport it was almost noon.  We were both exhausted from such an awesome weekend, so we climbed into bed, turned on some Glee and fell asleep for a couple hours.  We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out and watching some shows.  For dinner, we decided to do Apertivo again.    We went to the one that was a bit further, but with better food.  It was really crowded, but we still got a table, ate dome decent food, and drank some delicious Miami Vice's :)
