[EST 9:12am / Spain 3:12am] I am on my way to España! Madrid is the first stop - then we'll be connecting to go to Barcelona, then we'll get a bus ride to Tarragona! We arrive in Barcelona at 10:40am, but it will feel like 4:40am. I have a feeling that some great naps are in store for me that day! Mom took me to Jillian's house in Hickory this morning, but not without stopping by Rite Aid first... for granola bars, Bonine, cold medicine, & cough drops. Yay for getting a cold with perfect timing for Spain! Mr. and Mrs. Regan took us to Dulles airport, a quiet and relaxing drive. Jillian & I both slept for a little while - I didn't get enough sleep last night (external hard drive confusion & packing!). Check-in took a while for me because my suitcase was 58 lbs... with the 50 lb. limit. Ah! I moved 6 or 7 lbs. worth of random things from my suitcase to my carry-on backpack to meet the lady's 2 lb. leniency. How kind! I avoided paying $100 that way... yikes. The rest of the way to the terminal through security & everything wasn't bad. My TOMS shoes made the search easy! Jillian & I lost each other at check-in, but we met up again at the tram to go to the section of the airport where our gate (D21) was located. We had Subway for lunch (yum- Chicken & Bacon Ranch!), then I called Andrew & Mom while we waited for the boarding time.
Erin, Elise, Laura Ortel, Lauren, Jillian, Kirsten, & I are all on this flight, but I think there should be more. I am really excited to get to know everyone!
This plane is huge. 3 columns of seats: 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 seats x 42 rows = 336 seats. Wow. It's really nice, though. We all have a TV in the seat in front of us, although mine always reverts back to this random coding thing... sometimes with a cute penguin that Jillian & I named O'Malley.
He had to get an Irish name since we're flying Aer Lingus through United Airlines & there's a clover on the green tip of the plane wing.
Festive! Dinner = stuffed pasta w/ red sauce, water, salad w/ sesame ginger dressing, & a brownie (w/ no trans fat so it was not as delicious). Good dinner, eaten while watching
Couple's Retreat on Jillian's TV. I'm really glad that somehow seats H & K are next to each other! Current temp: -86 degrees F. Current altitude: 39,098 ft.
