Sorry for not following through on my promise to blog my trip. The lagistics of that were a little more complicated than I had estimated so let me catch you up.
The Departure:
We were set to leave Las Vegas destined for Barcelona Spain on Saturday Dec, 4th. On Friday Dec. 3th all of the Air Traffic Controllers in the entire country of Spain went on strike. Ironic isn’t it. I leave for Spain on my first ever trip to Europe and they shut the entire country down. All flights for Saturday into the county were canceled but things quickly returned to normal and we set out again on Sunday. Our travel agent, Lucille Lapa got our new flight confirmed and rescheduled our hotel room for us. She helped smooth everything out. Thanks Lucy.
So Sunday arrives and we take off. Everything feels good. No more cancelations. Five hours to NYC and a short stop in between flights. The transfer is smooth, we board for Barcelona. How exciting! We are on our way now. Until a ‘mechanical’ problem with the plane imprisons us on the tarmac for over four hours. After three they give us a little water to drink. How gracious. But finally we are in the air for an eight hour trip over the pond. It took us about 22 hours door to door to make it to our hotel in Barcelona but it was worth every minute.
