Kevin, Brock, Missy and I All went to Barcelona during the National Team break last week. The boys got the time off because the Slovenian, Italian, France, and Austrian teams all had a tournament in Ljubljana! We left Slovenia on Monday drove to the Venice-Trevisio Airport and flew with Ryan Air to Barcelona! You can find the best deals traveling with Ryan Air from Europe to Europe. The downfalls: print boarding pass before because its so cheap they will charge you, you are only allowed one bag (no purse, no checked luggage) or they will charge you, and you do not get assigned seats so everyone just sits where they want and they wait in a huge line at the gate. We weren't really aware of this so we were at the end of the line and Kevin and I weren't even sitting together at first. Half way through the flight the flight attendants started talking to me and wondering where I was from because I spoke English. I told them our story of how I am over here living with my boyfriend who plays hockey in Slovenian and they asked well where is he? and I pointed up to him about 10 rows and the flight attendants were so nice they moved us to the first row seats of the plane so we could sit together! :) On our flight home it ended up booking us with another airlines called Vueling which was just like Ryan Air except they chose our seats for us when we printed our boarding passes at the counter. When we landed in Venice though our flight home landed at a different airport, Marco Polo Airport Venice than our flight that took off so we had to find a way to our car at the other airport when it landed. Which usually shuttle buses run but we landed so late, they were done for the day. So our only option was to take a cab and it was not cheap for the 4 of us, with the tolls, and the 20 minute drive it cost 90 euro! not cool!
