SPRING BREAK IS OFFICIAL!!!!

Hello Everyone!

So we have officially booked all of our hostels for spring break!!! Now we have a place to stay throughout the whole trip instead of trying to find a cardboard box with 24 hour luggage security!

I had a few mishaps in this whole spring break planning extravaganza but I finally got everything figured out! One day this past week Annie Mahoney, Sarah Frost, Dewey Thoner, and I were sitting in the library trying to find the cheapest hostels/hotels and I was looking into the Paris hostel. So I am putting in all of our search information when it comes to put in the arrival date. I went back to check my plane ticket confirmation and just used that date (April 18th). So I found a hostel that we were all satisfied with (2 blocks away from the EIFFEL TOWER!!!!!) and was going through all the info before I clicked "Book Now."

I read through the details and Dewey was like "Wait, I think we get into Paris on April 17th." I told him, no I checked my plane ticket and it said the 18th. So I told him, well maybe we booked different days. I was like, well it is only 1 day and it is far enough in advance that you could change your ticket. So Sarah and Annie checked their confirmations and guess what "THEY WERE LEAVING THE 17TH. I WAS GOING TO BE IN BARCELONA BY MYSELF FOR A DAY!" I had booked the wrong day. I couldn't believe it because when I booked my flights, I used the flight numbers Sarah gave me from her flight confirmations. I went back and checked to make sure I had followed that right, which I had and then I was really confused. Well who knew that Ryanair (the website we booked our tickets on) would assign ONE flight number to TWO different planes on TWO DIFFERENT DAYS.

We all laughed so hard in the library, my abs started to hurt and I was crying!!! So after rebooking my flight to the right day and paying the flight change fee, we booked our hostel and everything is figured out now. We are all leaving Barcelona on the 17th on the same plane!!!
