It’s official! At this time next week I’m gonna be eating souvlaki and moussaka, drinking ouzo, smashing plates, praying to Zeus, listening to Yanni, and growing my chest hair. You guessed it – we’re off to Japan… I mean Greece!

After hours upon hours of scouring the vast wasteland of the internet for a cheap flight, I finally found a decent deal. 665€ for the two of us – round trip on Alitalia from Barcelona to Athens (via Milan). Don’t bother calling us from next Tuesday till the following Thursday (Sept 13-22) – we’ll be in Greece! This honey of a deal was found on Opodo while the same exact flight cost about 30% more on Alitalia’s own website. Go figure.

It’s now 3:42am and I have to wake up at 8:30 to go to work at the dubbing studio in La Garriga. I’ve done this ‘staying up too late’ thing for the past three days – I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I have a funny feeling that it’s gonna catch up to me tomorrow. Besides my back, shoulders and arms killing me from tonight’s first volleyball practice, I can feel my brain slowly melting from sleep deprivation. Maybe I’ll sleep till noon on Thursday.
