End of Spring Break

Spring Break was great, and we had seen a lot of things on our BIG day in Rome. But we were ready to go home, to our own rooms, with our own beds. So we got up early that morning, and got ready.
We dropped off our luggage at the train station to hold, and we stood in line for our train tickets to the airport forever. The customer service at this train station was horrendous!!! So we finally got our tickets and went out shopping. We headed out to do some last minute shopping. We left on a Saturday morning and, things weren't really open yet... So it was a little frustrating trying to shop, with 1 or 2 shops open.
There was something really funny. There was a Kebab shop, and the sign was spelled wrong..

 We got back to the train station with tons of time to spare. We got on the train, and got to the airport an hour earlier than we needed to, but we were ready to go.
We got off the train and went to the board with all the flights on it..and our flight wasn't on it. The airport that we had come into, WAS NOT THE AIRPORT WE WERE LEAVING OUT OF!!!! GAHHH!! How had I overlooked this!!!??? lol. It was an instant panic, so we pretty much ran outside of the terminal, and jumped in the nearest taxi. He told us that he'd have us there in 40 minutes. We told him we needed to get there as soon as possible, and so the taxi driver drove 100 mph on tiny little roads, tailgating people!! It was insane!!!!
We were about 5 minutes into the ride, when it was like the subtle, put on your seat belt after a fast turn.....lol.
We got there 20 minutes later!!!!!!!!!!
It was crazy!!

We got in the airport and got through security, jumped on our flight to POLAND!! lol. yes Poland. Ryan Air didn't do a direct flight that day, so we went to Poland for our connecting flight.

We got into Poland and got our bags, then tried to re-check our bag. Now the guy in Rome had been really chill and let our bag go in for 17 kg when it was supposed to be 15, but this girl didn't let it fly. So we had to figure out a way to take out 2k. So that was interesting.....lol.

We had to wait 2 hours or so before they would take our bag, because we had a long layover. We went to dinner in the airport, but we had a nice dinner. The polish dollar/currency is worth about a 1/3 of an American Dollar....so that was fabulous!!!

We got a few souvenirs, and whatnot..then went and dropped off our bag.
We got through security and waited at our gate....
While we were waiting, "Wedding Crashers" was on the TV. It was translated into Polish, but there weren't different translators for each character, or for even male or female. It was one single monotoned man with NO inflection in his voice, doing the voices for all the characters. The translation was hilarious.
Our flight got delayed 2 hours so needless to say we got to finish the movie....

We flew to Edinburgh, and then took a taxi home because our flight got delayed we definitely weren't making the train home....

But we did get to ride in a super nanny taxi...so that was cool.

All in all, spring break was amazing. We saw everything we came to see!!
We Came, We Saw, We Conquered.
