Friday night, just as I finished packing my bag, I sprawled out on my bed and grabbed my cell phone. Set the alarm: 3:13 am. Just as I put the phone down and closed my eyes to get what would have been 2.5 hours of sleep I had a second thought, rolled over, and just to be safe set my analog alarm to 3:15 am. Armed with 2 alarms, 2.5 hours of sleep, and my bag already packed I figured I'd be in pretty good condition to make it to the airport on time without too much trouble.
Yea, think again. Next thing I knew I woke up, greeted by a light blue-pinkish sky and recognized that something was wrong. I hadn't heard any alarm, and glancing over at the clock on my nightstand saw that it read 5:45 am. You know those moments in time where everything stops and you realize that you've done something completely idiotic that can't be amended? Yes, this was one of those moments. With my flight for Berlin taking off at 6:25 am from Bergamo, there was no way I was making this one. It was a sad morning in the life of this jet-setter.
