Itinerary

Well, hello there! Welcome to my new blog! If you are close to me you probably know that this blog was created for the primary reason of reporting on my adventures in Spain this summer. So I thought I might give you a little itinerary:

Tomorrow, June 16th -Fly out of Seattle

 Leaving the hometown behind and flying to L.A., 6 hour lay over (oh joy) might be venturing out to a beach in that time before we take off again for Paris.

Sunday, June 17th - Arrive in Paris

We arrive at Charles de Gaulle Airport at apporximately 12:30 AM and take the subway into the city where we will be staying in a flat for 3 nights with our British friends Tony and Susan.

June 20th - Fly out of Paris, Arrive in Barcelona

Once we land in Barcelona, we are renting a car and driving up through North Spain, possibly passing through Andora, and back up into the South of France and staying with our other British friends Flo and Malcolm in Carcassone for 3 days.

June 23rd - Drive back to Barcelona

Staying in a historic hotel there and touring the city for three days (seeing a pattern here?).

June 26th - Drive to Valencia

We will be staying with our Spanish friends Elena and Fran for a few (undecided number) days and seeing the city before we go on a little road trip around the rest of Spain to the major cities: Madrid, Toledo, Granada, etc.

July 4th - Back to Valencia, Family leaves

On the day of our lovely home country's Independence, we drive back to Valencia where my family leave me with Elena and Fran and drive to Barcelona and fly back to the U.S. of A.

The next three weeks I am living with Elena and Fran to help take care of their six-month-old Baby Elena and taking conversational Spanish classes. Of course that's not all I will do, especially considering their house is 10 minutes from the beach and 15 minutes from downtown Velencia. I'm sure I'll be doing MUCH more.

July 25th - Fly out of Barcelona

When all my adventures are over, Fran will drive me back to Barcelona where I will fly to Paris for a 2 hour lay over before flying to Washington D.C.

July 26th - Washington D.C

As if my life hadn't already been exciting, once I get back to 'Merica, my dad pulled a few strings so they are meeting me in D.C. for a private tour of the White House. After possibly seeing a few of the other National Monuments, we stay overnight before finally going home.

July 27th - Home

After all that, I know I'll be glad to be home.

I will miss you all, but I will have Internet so I might be saying hi.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
