I booked 3 flights within 24 hours the other day, surely a new personal record.
1) Going to Belfast, Northern Ireland, for a couple of days in August (for some kind of bussiness I have to do there: No, it's not a dodgy bussiness. Not all bussiness by Bulgarians are dodgy you know) so I thought I could combine it with some sightseeing and stuff. Booked a reasonably priced Bed&Breakfast near the area I have to be. Didn't bother to read any reviews about the place before I booked. I only did so afterwards. Look what I found:
"Beware this Terrible Trap"
"...certainly the worst lodging we have experienced in a UK B&B."
"This place is like a flophouse"
Great, I bet it's also at the border of a catholic and a protestant naighbourhood, with all the fun that comes with it....
2) Going to Sofia in September. Too busy to go there in the summer, I would have to settle with a September visit. It's only for a week or so but I will sqeeze in some days over the border at some Halkidiki beach and on the way back spend some time in Blagoevgrad.
3) Altanta, GA, in October. Going there for a conference. Not really looking forward to it, I am going to be busy as hell at the time. Unfortunately NBA doesn't start until November so I won't be able to watch a Hawks' game. Come to think of it, maybe that's not such a bad thing after all...
And no stinky Bed&Breakfasts this time. Booked a room at Hilton
