Terrible, horrible, awful, no good, very bad day.

First one so far on this trip:/

I don't have the energy or stamina to write a nice long post, because I haven't eaten since a yogurt at 5:30 AM... but basically the 20 min bus trip into the center of Austria took over an hour, I got lost, took the wrong, sketch street down, paid 7 euros for 20 min in a museum, SPRINTED 4,000 meters back to the bus station, where it took over an hour to get back to the airport, and I had 20 min to get my back out of storage, find my gate, get through security, and board the plane. I was panicking and running and I realized I had no euros and I'd really wanted a shot glass from Austria but there was no way that was going to happen.. and then I started my period and I had no tampons (they're in my checked bag), and they don't sell them ANYWHERE and the airport, and then when trying to go BACK through security after scrambling around the airport, I realized I'd lost my passport and the bus to the plane was leaving and I still hadn't eaten and I started bawling and the lady didn't speak English and these four cute boys were all staring at me pathetically and my nose was running...

fast-forward to landing in Munich: I land at 4:35, get my luggage, then RUSH to the information center where I'm supposed to meet Frances. Then, I realize her flight is landing in 10 min, and I can just figure out her gate and meet here there. I go. I wait. She never comes. There's no internet. My phone is dead, and I have no minutes so I can't make any calls. I wait. I go to EVERY single other information point in the entire 6 story airport, lugging my bags behind me. She's not there. I go to the "Meeting Point" in the middle of the airport and wait. She never shows. I look at the time: it's 5:50. I start panicking, realizing she either a) missed her plane, which is so not like her or b) she's scrambling around looking for me too. I finally go to an information point and ask them to page her; they refuse, I start crying, then they agree and page her. I wait. She never shows. I finally find an internet hotspot, pay 10 euros, and find out that her flight was delayed 1.5 hours.. I just looked it up, and it's delayed another hour.

C'est la vie.

:/

I only have 10 minutes of internet yet. I think I need some food.
