Spain!
We're leaving for Spain tomorrow morning!
Dick's niece, Adrianne is studying abroad in Granada, Spain for the entire year. She's having the time of her life. Her Grandfather, Dick's Father, has been to visit her twice already this year. He enjoyed himself so much that he is renting an apartment of his own in Granada for the month of September, and will be taking Spanish courses while he is there. (amazing!)
Dick and I will be leaving tomorrow morning to visit them for a week. We'll also be visiting with my friends, Rob & Andrew. Rob and Andrew are actually from England, but have vacation property, and a new house that they are building just outside of Marbella, Spain.
We're very excited. Neither of us have been to Spain before, and we're really looking forward to visiting with our friends & family there!
Our friend, Vivian has graciously offered to house-sit, and cat-sit for us while we're away. It's so nice to know that someone will be here to look after everything while we're away. Plus, the cats are happy that they'll have company!
Tomorrow will be a very long day of traveling. Actually, I suppose I should say that it will be a weekend full of travel!
We'll be flying from SFO to London, Heathrow. I think it's about 11 hours. We arrive Sunday morning, then have to make our way to London Gatwick airport to catch a flight in the early afternoon. We'll be flying into Malaga, Spain where Dick's father and niece should be meeting up with us. We'll be taking a bus from there to Granada - the ride is supposed to be lovely. We'll be getting into Granada Sunday evening. Wow - that's a lot of traveling!
We're on a wait list to be upgraded to business class from SFO to London - fingers crossed. That would make a huge difference! Plus, we both have tons of frequent flyer points to use!
We're not planning on bringing either of our laptops on this trip. (shocking!) I'm pretty sure that we'll have occasional access to the internet, so I'll try to touch base once or twice.
Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend!
