Here I am in Valencia, Spain. There was a problem with my room am patiently awaiting a new one whilst trying to stay awake. Ugh. This is my first time in Valencia. So far the day hasn't been super. The flight over was so hectic. There was so many problems: Most people audio for the movie didn't work, we were short 4 meals, the bathrooms were acting up, we didn't have all the supplies we needed, on and on and on. Then we get to the hotel and I have a smoking room. I hate to be a pain, but ew. I am having to wait until they clean another room. :-( I suppose it's a good time to blog.
Occasionally on a layover, or just a trip in general, I will get this over whelming feeling of sadness. It doesn't happen often, thank goodness, but when it does it sucks. I asked a friend if they ever felt that way and they said sometimes they felt lonely and that maybe it was loneliness I was feeling. I thought about that and decided that maybe they are right. This job can promote loneliness. We spend half the month in hotels, alone. And usually this is great. It gives you time to yourself, especially if you have a hectic life at home. But occasionally you just feel lonely. You are all by yourself in a foreign city. It's a weird feeling. I bring it up because I have that feeling today. Why? I wish I knew. Maybe it was the hectic flight, maybe its the room mess up, maybe its the sleepiness. I just don't know. I guess everyone gets lonely sometimes, even us travelers. More to come from Valencia later.
