¡Vamos a España!
Last May, COVID was waning, airfare was low, so we decide to book a trip to Barcelona. DJ and Carlos decided to go with us on the adventure. And, little did we know, Cecelia would be living and working in Netherlands, so she could easily join us.
We arrived in Barcelona without incident. Cecelia was waiting for us as her flight arrived two hours ahead of ours. We shuttled to our rental car company and after quite some time there were finally off. We drove about 90 minutes to a city called Lleida where we are staying for the night. At 7pm we were checked into our hotel … but it was way too early for dinner … hotel told us restaurants wouldn’t open till at least 8:30pm. So we took a stroll down the old city center … had some drinks and found food.
As the departure date drew near, the Omicron variant of COVID reared its ugly head and had us worried. A week before our departure we actually decided not to drive into France for part of the trip, as their COVID restrictions were intense. But Spain is open as can be … for us vaccinated folks. We decided to go to Madrid in place of France.
So, here we are, all checked in. We are flying from SF to Barcelona through Paris on Air France … looking forward to the complimentary champagne and wine with dinner.
¡Hasta pronto!

It’s time for sleep after 30 hours of no real sleep.
