This morning was my second trip to the main airport in Kyiv. The first time was late December when I visited the UK. Today for my exciting trip to Berlin! I woke up by 9:30 a.m. (somewhat early for me), showered, shaved, attempted coffee, which my stomach didn't like this morning, and finished last minute packing.
My flight was scheduled to leave at 1:30. It was after 12, when I got to the airport. After checking in, and checking my back pack (which I wasn't going to do) I was directed to gate 7.
Waiting in line I cleared security fairly quickly. Then while waiting in line for customs, I heard "Last call, flight... Berlin...gate 7"...... panicky, I asked many folks in line, could I go ahead..last call for my flight. All of them graciously and kindly said...yes, of course, etc....
After running to gate 7 and showing my passport and boarding pass, the lady calmly said, not your flight.... you are early. You are at gate 4..... I explained, then sheepishly thanked her and found gate 4 and a seat. I felt rather self conscious and worried that some of the people I made such a fuss with over my "last call for my flight", might spot me and just think I'm a jerk who didn't want to wait.
Ah, yea, that's me....quickly (over) reacting to potentially important information and freakin' out over nothing.... Had this been an actual emergency, I would have made my plane on time. Who says people are mean?
Just call me spaz.
