Good morning, dear reader! I am writing to you today from the floor of the Warsaw airport, while awaiting the arrival of the plane that will take me one step closer to NYC. We spent last night in Katowice, Poland, which you've never heard of because there's nothing to hear about. It's a miracle that the town had a hotel, and why they had an airport is a complete mystery. Apparently they're close to Krakow, but Krakow has its own airport so I still don't understand the point of having one in Katowice.
Anyway...
We flew to Poland via Wizz Air, one of the worst 3 airlines you will ever have the displeasure of doing business with (along with Spirit and RyanAir). Fortunately the flight was only a couple of hours long and I managed to sleep through it. We landed, took a very short cab ride to our middle-of-nowhere hotel, and promptly passed out until dinner. The hotel turned out to be on a lake, so we sat outside enjoying the view while eating. Our food was ridiculously cheap (about $15 total, as I recall, for dinner, drinks, and dessert for 2), and so good. Naturally pierogis were involved. :)
There is nothing in Katowice (seriously - the town is so small it doesn't even have cows), so we went back to our room and whiled away the hours with work and writing. We were going to stay up all night because our flight to Warsaw was early in the morning and we figured it would make us sleep through all of our flights today, but sleep finally got the better of us and we rested for a few hours before we had to get up, pack, and call a cab. The flight to Warsaw was very short and uneventful, and now we have 2 flights left before we will be back in the States: one from Warsaw to Reykjavik, Iceland, and one from Iceland to Newark. I've never flown into Newark before, so that should be a bit of an adventure. Mostly, though, all I can think about is that it's keeping me away from my "Welcome back to Manhattan!" plans for even longer: real NYC pizza, a trip to Keybar, and sleep in my very own, exceedingly comfortable, bed! :)
