Olé tú, olé sevilla

I had an awesome weekend (2 weeks ago) visiting my friend Begoña in Andalucia. Although there were some very close calls related to Ryanair, I made it there and back safely. On the way to Sevilla, the flight was delayed 2 hours because of some missing documentation. When we were called back to board the plane, I got in line... but it turns out that I somehow got in the line going to Italy and I almost missed the flight! The Ryanair reps were telling me that the boarding was closed already and that I'd have to try to get another flight, and I was getting very stressed out. In the end, the passengers had been sent to the wrong gate so they were able to take me to the plane with plenty of time to spare.

On the way back, I missed a bus by 5 minutes and had to wait 25 minutes for the next one. I arrived at the airport, sprinted to get my boarding pass stamped, waited awhile in security, then sprinted to my gate (which, of course, was the furthest one). I really hadn't run like that in ages! Luckily I arrived, extremely stressed and out of breath, just as the last passengers were having their boarding passes checked, and made it back to Valencia!
