Kamil in France

So as you may know I’m traveling to France today. Actually, I’m at the Mohamed V Airport in Casablanca, Morocco right now (not at the moment of posting but at the moment of writing). There is wi fi here but unfortunately you have to buy some credits and the place where they sell them is closed :( it doesn’t work with my debit card either (it’s high time to ask my Polish bank for credit card!). There is one additional stupid thing here at this airport. There is a huge terminal with wi fi but I didn’t find any plug available for users. I was lucky to plug my laptop at the information desk (which is closed right now otherwise I would be kicked out).
I got at the airport around 1h ago and will have to wait until 5 AM when my check in starts. Again, night at the airport. I’m thinking of a place to have a nap – toilet again as I did in Frankfurt in June? :)

*** I’ve been just approached by two nice policemen who took my passport, wrote down some info from it, gave it back, asked a few questions and then wished me “bon voyage!” ***

So, today was my one-day-before-departure day. As it usually happens, I was extremely pissed off and stressed. First of all, I was not supposed to spend night at the airport but be driven here by car. Unfortunately, my friend couldn’t make it :( Then I started thinking about all my travels, tickets, trains, reservation, luggage limits and all these shits. My Thursday TGV train from Marseille to Paris was cancelled due to strike just one day after I changed my flight and decided not to take this train. Nice, isn’t it? If I hadn’t decided to become faci I would be in serious problems. I’m still afraid about my Monday train (from Paris to Marseille). I emailed SNCF (French “PKP”) to give me money back for my cancelled train (they proposed either changing date or getting money back). I hope they won’t cancel my Monday train too. Otherwise, I will not catch my morning flight from Marseille to Fez next Tuesday (btw, exactly in one week I’ll be spending night at the airport – this time in Marseille). Another thing – next Monday I will come back from Bordeaux at 14.30 and my train to Marseille leaves at 15.20. It’s supposed to be enough but slight delay may cause me a lot of troubles. Next issue, my luggage for Marseille-Fez trip is only 10 kilos. I resigned from checked-in baggage and will have only hand baggage. That was stupid but the decision was made in August and at that time my trip to France was supposed to be shorter. Now, I hope they will not ask me to throw away some of my stuff.

Ok, I think these are all my frustrations for now.

Positive things – I’m going to Paris!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAA!!!! So cool !!!! I love this city !!! :) :) :) I’ll be faci at a conference of AIESEC in France. I will travel a lot within France (Paris>Bordeaux>Paris>Marseille). I won’t have much time for sightseeing though but hopefully will be able to take some pics and see the coolest places.
I also believe that the conference will be a chance to review my long term goals – especially in terms of “what to do next term?”.

That’s gonna be crazy week! Sometimes probably stressful and tiring but for sure I will remember it for a long time.

Keep your fingers crossed for my flights, trains, reservations and all that stuff.
