I Hate Making Plans

I realized this morning just how much I hate planning things. I like things to be fluid and open to change. This is why I hate travelling. You have to plan where you're going to stay and how you're going to get there and then stick to that plan.

I am currently panicked about making my connection home in London. So I've been trying to revise my plans without losing anything. This isn't really possible. I want to spend at least one weekend day with my host family. This would give us the opportunity to go somewhere even if it's just to Stare Miasto for a beer. I was planning to do this on the back end of the trip. I could get a flight out of Warsaw on Sunday morning that would arrive at Heathrow two hours before my flight home leaves. Two things could affect this:

1. Krystian is notoriously late for everything and I've been damn close to missing flights in the past. This flight also leaves ridiculously early and would make my flight home a really, really long one.

2. Any delays in the flight or at customs will cause massive problems. I've had experience shifting terminals at Heathrow. It involves a bus and long ass concourses and clearing security for a second time. Not to mention that I would have to check-in again in London because I'm switching carriers.

These key points have led me to believe I need to be in London the night before I come home. So now I have a dilemma. Do I stay in London first, then head to Paris and Warsaw? Or do I go directly to Warsaw, then Paris and then London?
