My Parisian Adventure
My trips to Paris, for some reason, are always adventurous. Things just happen and fall apart and then somehow back together... Never boring.
Once I was supposed to meet my sons in Paris after a long brake (they were on holiday with their dad) and I decided to make a purchase trip to Paris while they were there.
We missed each other, had never been apart fur such a long time, but now they made an ex tempore trip to Paris.
It was super important that I'd be there on that one day when we could meet.
They look so little... <3
Quickly I booked thickets, paid hotel, arranged someone to substitute for me at LadyBohenia, and headed for the airport next morning at 5 AM. Had been too busy to print anything but I had the confirmation in my phone, it even welcomed me to the upcoming flight.
Tried to do self check-in, didn't find the plane. Tried with a flight attendant, she didn't manage. Started to panic and went to the counter. On the way, accidentally deleted the confirmation of the flight from my phone. That was just the icing on the cake.
The check-in person tried to find the flight, there was no flight with Norwegian for Paris that day. But it had welcomed me onboard! She didn't understand and I didn't have any document.
Went to Finnair counter and told what had happened and that I needed to get to Paris even if I had to buy another ticket.
The Finnair lady decided to really help me and figure out what had gone wrong... I found one email confirmation for my reservation and she went over and over it. Until she figured out that in my haste I'd booked the tickets Paris-Hki-Paris. The plane welcoming me was at Orly airport in Paris.
Huoh.
Luckily, Finnair had a cheap flight leaving in a couple of hours and she booked me on it.
I made it to Paris and got to spend that one beautiful day with my boys <3.
This time, I had to ordrer an express passport straight to the airport to get it on time... Again at the airport at 5 AM, I was sure that there'd be a problem.
Surprisingly, I found the passport, however yesterday on my way back Finnair lost all my luggage. So this time the surprise momentum is whether I get back the LadyBohemia purchases - all the lovely things I'd found, lost. Grrrrrr.
Things always go wrong but in the end it tends to work out. Waiting for a call from Finnair... ;)
