Departure

Packing was a real challenge, what will i need ? what to take, what to not ? But i managed, and now that's it, along with my luggage, papers are ready, and i'm finally good for going to Poland for my IAESTE summer training.

It was a real excitment in the airport, i was impatiently looking forward to reexperience that very powerful acceleration sticking you into your seat right before the plane takes off, a feeling that i kept in memory from a long time ago. Later it did not reveal to be as powerful as i wanted it to be, but i managed to convince myself it was, and was feeling an enormous exaltation; i'm really going, it's happening ! The dizzinees i felt during the flight did at no time succeed to take my joy away, and then the flight was brief, we're landing in Rome, and i have one hour and a half to transit.

One hour and a half are enough, i thought, until i lost more than half an hour waiting in the wrong queue, i did not want to ask because it was obvious to follow where everybody was going, also the direction signs were saying "Transit". Once i arrived to the head of the queue, i decide to ask this police officer, i show him my ticket, and he surprisingly prompts me to go all the way back and take my luggage first ! Move Houssem move, sms from my dad; i can not miss my flight, else the ticket is lost and i'm stuck in Rome !

So, luggage taken, i have to go to another Terminal, and surprise, once there, not only the check in has closed, but there is also a long queue ahead. I'm not yet panicking, and i show my ticket to a kind man from the check-in personnel, and he is the one to be alarmed at how late i am, he gets me past al the waiting queue, to which i embarassedly try to apologize. Once the check in done, time to run to the boarding gate !! Feels like i'm in one of those movies...

And i arrive sweating to the departure lounge, boarding is not yet done, mission accomplished, sigh.

Rome-Warsaw was a lot longer, felt like eternity, and to my surprise, Alitalia was not that good compared to Tunisair.

I'm in Poland !
