Travel - no problem!

For those of you who are familiar with some of our past experiences while enroute to our destinations, this trip went off without a hitch. Our flights from Chicago to Barcelona, thru Madrid were uneventful, very smooth flights. If you don´t take into account that Friday night at home, my "sleep number" was a 65 and the next night on Iberia #6074 my "sleep number" went down to a -5 :) In other words, not much shut eye for this gal, even with my ¨"first class sleepere" inflatable bed, nothing worked. Gary caught some shut eye off and on, as he had put in a very long day and night of work on Friday the 14th.

We were very thankful all our luggage arrived at the same time as us on Sunday morning into Barcelona, as we had been hearing lots of reports of delayed or lost luggage from our fellow Disney cruisers. Our hotel in Barcelona, the Hotel Inglaterra is a very nice boutique style hotel, just a few blocks off Las Ramblas, near the heart of all the action. We are very happy with it and its proximity to everything. (read Starbucks)

Sunday, we took an afternoon nap to regain some zip and then went out and explored Las Ramblas and had a taste of Spanish food for dinner. Called it an early night.
