Just arrived: Coachella

foto-copia-2

After Mini and Tommy Hilfiger parties on Thursday night and after sleeping for one hour and a half, yesterday, at 4 am, my trip to Palm Springs and Coachella festival started. I’m staying there with all The Blonde Salad team thanks to DL1961 for the festival, just before moving for some days to Los Angeles.
The trip should have been easy and kinda short: Milan-Amsterdam and then Amsterdam-Los Angeles, driving to Palm Springs by car once arrived. Of course there were some troubles: the first flight, Milan-Amsterdam left one hour and 45 minutes late, making us loose the connection to Los Angeles (bye bye direct flight).
Luckily once arrived in Amsterdam we were helped and “cuddled” by American Express team (I definitely made a right choice one month ago when I decided It was the time to have one): they booked us seats in the next available flights (which became Amsterdam-Detroit and Detroit-Los Angeles) and we got to try the XpresSpa (with massaging sofa and foot or neck massage). I also realized one of my dreams as a kid: driving around the airport in those fast little cars (these are satisfactions).
Still thanks to American Express we could spent the last hour before leaving again in the beautiful KLM lounge, which made the next hours in the planes more pleasant. Thanks to Mrs. Blom for all the attention we were given!
After the 9 hours flight Amsterdam-Detroit we found another suprise, definitely less exciting than the previous one: a 3 hour delay for the last flight… We ate something at the airport and then left for the last 5 hours on the plane: once landed in Los Angeles we found our driver which brought us to Palm Springs, where we arrived exactly half an hour ago, at 1 am (local time).
Now, after 30 hours travelling and 15 hours in the different planes (because of the missed connection) I’m here in our hotel room in Palm Springs, ready for a shower and some hours of sleep… Tomorrow morning Coachella starts and I can’t wait for it!

Dopo le feste di Mini e di Tommy Hilfiger giovedi sera e dopo aver dormito un’ora e mezza è iniziato ieri, alle 4 del mattino, il mio viaggio verso Palm Springs e Coachella, dove io e tutto il team di The Blonde Salad siamo ospiti di DL1961 per il festival, prima di spostarci a Los Angeles per qualche giorno.
L’itinerario doveva essere moderatamente semplice e corto: Milano-Amsterdam ed Amsterdam-Los Angeles, per poi spostarci a Palm Springs in macchina. Naturalmente c’è stato qualche intoppo: il volo Milano-Amsterdam è partito con un’ora e quaranta minuti di ritardo, facendoci perdere la coincidenza per Los Angeles (addio volo diretto).
Fortunatamente una volta arrivati ad Amsterdam siamo stati aiutati e coccolati dal team di American Express (ringrazio il cielo per aver deciso di fare una carta American Express un mese fa): oltre a prenotarci un posto sui primi voli disponibili (che sono diventati Amsterdam-Detroit e Detroit-Los Angeles) abbiamo provato l’XpresSpa (con poltrona massaggiante e massaggio al collo o ai piedi). Ho anche realizzato uno dei miei sogni di bambina: girare a tutta velocità in aeroporto con l’apposita macchina (sono soddisfazioni).
Sempre grazie ad American Express abbiamo potuto passare l’ultima ora prima di ripartire nella bellissima lounge di KLM, che ha reso i successivi voli ancora più gradevoli. Grazie a Mrs. Blom per tutte le attenzioni che ci sono state date!
Dopo le 9 ore di volo Amsterdam-Detroit abbiamo trovato un’altra sorpresa, decisamente meno bella della precedente: 3 ore di ritardo per l’ultimo volo… Abbiamo quindi mangiato qualcosa e siamo ripartiti per le ultime 5 ore di aereo: atterrati a Los Angeles abbiamo trovato il nostro autista che ci ha portati a Palm Springs, dove siamo arrivati esattamente mezz’ora fa, all’una di notte (ora locale).
Ora, dopo 30 ore di viaggio e 15 ore sui diversi aerei (maledetta coincidenza persa) sono qui nella mia camera d’hotel a Palm Springs, pronta per una doccia ed almeno qualche ora di sonno… Domani mattina Coachella ed io non sto nella pelle!
