@Oulu

This morning we caught a bus (which was more than full) with J to Helsinki-Vantaa airport. We went to a café to wait for our flight and I also wanted to buy something small to bring with me even though J tried to say that I don't need to bring anything. Our flight was on time and the airplane was filled with people (also with screaming children.............). We landed at Oulu airport at 14.45 and a few friends of J came to pick us up from there. Now we are trying to make some plans for tonight. On Saturday we are gonna get up at 7am or so and then we are gonna get into a car and drive to Björköby because one of J's relatives has her 60th birthday then. I'm a bit nervous about meeting too many relatives all at once, but oh well, I'm adaptable!:-D

Valencia

Here I am in Valencia! I will post later more about this place, now I'm just confused and I can't realize I'm not going to home for a while now. At first I'm staying here at Ksenia's place and in a week we are supposed to get our apartment very near to the University.

Btw, I really don't know why the pictures in earlier posts are not available?! at least I can't see them and I really don't want to load all of them again because blogger doesn't load them very fluently... >:(

Just a few pictures from yesterday:

Barcelona airport, that floor is confusing, I'm always near to falling when I look down while walking :-D

I almost went to buy David Villa -shirt but I will do that when I go back to BCN in March >:)

that one I was waiting for. wasn't a long time to wait but it felt like eternity as i was sooo tired and having mixed feelings.

empty airport in Barcelona

leaving from BCN to VLC

landing, my first view of Valencia!

at the airport, bye Finland!

Okay, it's time to go! I'm waiting for boarding to start here at Helsinki-Vantaa airport. The weather is terrible but hope everything goes well. First I'm flying to Barcelona and then to Valencia. I'm feeling both happyhappyhappy-excited and sad at the same time. it was awful to say goodbyes with J. J, I know you are reading this, I'm missing you already. <3

Bye bye Finland, we'll see in June or July!

@ the airport

wihii I'm getting in the traveling mood by hanging here at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport! Today I'm flying just within the borders of Finland - my destination is Oulu (situated in the middle of Finland) where my boyfriend comes from. He is already there and now I'm going too. We've been apart from each other for over a week now and I'm already missing him quite a lot! So yay for me, I'm seeing him in 3 hours! The flight takes only an hour, but there are still two hours before the flight leaves.

My morning didn't go as well as thought. My intention was to wake up at 7am, get ready and leave a bit past 8am. My bus was supposed to leave at 8.18. But surprise surprise I missed it with one minute or so.. Then I took another bus to Leppävaara and waited for half an hour for the airport bus. It was windy and cold but I made it to here! I'm always kind of nervous at airport before security controls (don't know why) and this time wasn't an exception, especially as this is the first time I'm flying alone. I'm a bit scared of flying but maybe it's good that I have this kind of short flight before I have to fly to Spain all alone on January 21 (just 3 weeks away, oh god!). All my stuff is packed in a bag that I'm taking as a carry-on. It has a little bit overweight so I was nervous because f that too, but no, they didn't say anything at security controls. All my stuff went through without problems but of course the systems beeped when I went through! Even though there's nothing to worry about, I don't like the situation when those systems beep (and it has happened to me almost every time I have flied..). So, they made a personal search and then let me go. Maybe it was my bracelet or earrings or something because I didn't have a belt and I took my shoes off before going through.

So, now I'm just waiting in here for my boarding to start - still an hour and a half to wait! But I guess this trip is worth waiting for :-)
