I can never sleep well during flights.
Couple that with long flights and wait times and you have yourself an exhausted travel. While waiting for my final flight from Frankfurt to Pune, I set three alarms and decided to get some rest.
Usually, I am very secure with my luggage. So I wrapped my backpack and camera case around my legs before dozing off. It was a good thing too, because when I woke up I still had all my valuables and there were no signs of theft.
Actually, there was not anyone around at all.
Because I slept through my alarms and my flight. I missed the takeoff by 20 minutes.
Commence 10 additional hours of staying awake, calling back home, and running back and forth throughout the Frankfurt airport trying to get a new flight. Unfortunately, I had to purchase entirely new tickets.
Because the earliest flight was not until tomorrow, I had to bite the bullet and stay at the nearest hotel. A very fancy one, might I add, filled with various kinds of room service, gourmet restaurants, and bars. That hot shower was probably the only good thing that happened for the rest of that day.
