Travel Trouble

I departed Karlstad for Stockholm with tons of time to spare. I planned on getting to the airport early, updating my blog, having a meal, etc. I neglected to double check my itinerary, however, and discovered my mistake while searching for my flight on the monitors. Apparently, there are two airports in Stockholm and I was at the wrong one. I inquired at the nearest information desk and was told that the airport I was supposed to be at was two hours by train from Stockholm. Glancing at my watch, I realized I could make it if I hurried. It was then I was told that Stockholm was 40 minutes from the airport I was at and my hopes dwindled. I knew I had to get to Milan that night because my flight into Tangier left at 6:30 the following morning and there are very few flights in and out of Tangier. I had to purchase a walk-up one-way to Milan and got super lucky with the price (only $160). However, the flight was in to one of the two Milan airports and my next flight left from the other airport, 55 miles away. I arrived in Milan just in time to miss the last train and was forced to take a $210 cab ride to my hotel. After 3 hours of sleep, I was up and off to the airport to catch my next flight. I arrived early but stood in a relatively short line for an hour and made the cut-off time to check baggage by less than a minute. I managed to get to Tangier and immediately fell asleep in the dark, air-conditioned room.
