Jess in Praha 8-20-09

Okay! So today I landed in Prague. It's about 10:15 PM here and I'm waiting for Bobby to call me on Skype. Zuzka's on her computer looking at cameras, because I have to buy a new one! That's right...day 1 of my 4 month journey, and my camera is already broken. Oh well. It was old...but I still liked it a lot so I'm kinda bummed.

Anyways, my trip started yesterday. When I got to the airport, I wanted to be bumped up to the earlier flight because I didn't think I'd make my flight to Zurich if I didn't, since air traffic in Philly sucks so bad. The people at US Airways told me the flight was was open and I just had to go to the gate early....but when I went the flight was full so they put me on standby! I was freaking out a little bit, but I ended up getting a seat on the plane, so that was good. Then I had my 5 hour layover in philly, I basically just sat there and read the whole time. The flight from Philly to Zurich was long, it was delayed an hour, and we circled for a half hour before we landed. I slept pretty much the whole flight though so I was happy about that. When I got to Zurich I had to sprint to my next plane to Prague. Unfortunately I had to go through security again, and they kept taking stuff out of my bag and re-scanning it probably like 4 or 5 times. I was really frustrated and afraid I'd miss my flight. Luckily I JUST made it to the gate, I was literally one of the last people on the plane, and they only waited because I told them there may be more. That's just my luck with flying though. This stuff always seems to happen to me when I fly.

I finally got to Prague, and my luggage actually made it too! Much to my surprise lol. But anyways, I came and took a 3 hour nap, and then me and Zuzka went into Prague. We went to this sweet new mall in the city, and it was there that I realized that my camera was broken! Oh well. We decided to go eat at this really good Japanese restaurant, and I came home and skyped my dad and Bobby. Now I'm tired, and probably gonna go to sleep haha.
