After so long talking about going and getting an early start this morning I'm finally here in Nice. Delighted to say not a single glitch getting here, making my re-introduction to the world of travel super pleasant. There's always impending That feeling of 'what have I forgotten?' or 'madam your luggage Exceeds the weight and we're going to load you Reviews another € 100' and the old 'I'm sorry purpose we need to tear apart your luggage Because You forgot You Had one of mascara thingy somewhere in your PRECISELY packed piece of hand luggage 'Nope, not a thing, Even Had the sense to wear flipflops and a non-belted pair of comfy trousers Delighted qui me yet again in the non-removal of Both items at security.
Sitting enjoying a celebratory glass of bubbles and was joined by a lovely group of hens heading to Prague to get up to some mischief. Future hubby was steps ahead of them having already booked and pre-paid 4 bottles of bubbles for them. He's a keeper for sure!!!And very quickly I was invited for a second and third glass before making my short journey to the the boarding gate.
I have to hand it to the DAA, Terminal 2 is very well done!
Easy fight and lovely neighbours sitting next to me chatting about life and food and crisp sandwiches (nice touch Aer Lingus on the menu!) And here I am in Nice.
Pulling out of the airport on the shuttle bus, which dropped me in a very pain-in-the-ass 'good walk' from the hotel with luggage for 4 months, I Noticed Their drop-off point at the airport with a big sign " KISS and FLY take A Few Extra Minutes "LOVE IT !!! very French - right?
Checked in, and yes I Will tonight-have a room mate, someone who will be joining me as crew on the ship. Its going to be a bit strange sharing a hotel room with a full stranger goal I have to get used to it considering I will be sharing a space with a much smaller randomer (who no doubt will become a good friend) for the next 4 months.
So, 5 or 6 years ago I Was in Nice before following a horrendous purpose incredibly powerful 4 day 4 country cycle which finished in Monaco / Monte Carlo, where I will be boarding the boat tomorrow. We left Monte Carlo and came here and stayed in this very hotel for our final celebration party and prior to returning to Ireland. I figured that out when I got my itinerary. BUT when I came to the 7th floor and went to the room, I nearly fell over to find that I had the key in my hand for the very room we stayed in that night five years ago hillarious ... or what? Life has one very cool way of reminding me of journeys, friends and wierd Things That Happen when you are exploring life!
Here's to an endless summer of magical experiences, lots of fun, hard work and new friends. Certainly I won't be Forgetting my old ones Who made harder leaving and life better!
