So Im talking to a couple at dinner two nights ago and they were telling me they just got back from Croatia and did this sailing adventure. I was already planning on going there and could not wait to be in the sun and water. Yesterday morning I go online and find out my only chance to go sailing would be today as the boats leave every Sat for a week at a time. So Im sitting there thinking "What the hell do I do? I dont wanna miss this opportunity and its exactly where I want to be right now....but so little time." I looked at the train schedule and there was one night train. Called the sailing company and they had a couple spots left(took me a good 30 minutes to even figure out how to even call internationally). So with about 2 hrs to spare, I decided to do it and not look back.
I book the adventure, cancel all my hostels, email family. Theres no turning back. Next I go to train station...problemo. All the seats on the train are booked. They have sleepers but they can only be accessed online 3 hrs in advance. Id have to go talk to the conductor once the train arrived. So at this point, Im about as stressed as Id ever been in my life. If I couldnt get a sleeper, Id have no way of getting down there. Oh by the way, this is the first time Ive taken a train thats been even half way full so Im like how the hell is it sold out. So Im just praying theres room on the train, otherwise Im basically homeless until I can find somewhere to stay, no idea where Id go. So the train pulls up, Im one of the first to board. Luckily there was a couple spots left. Most relieved Id ever been in my life. About 15 hrs later and maybe 3 hrs of sleep, Im here. Well see where this journey takes me. Stressfull night and morning, its gotta be better than where I was.
