The Start of Another Adventure

We are all packed up and ready to start our trip. To start the trip off right, Laura and I have a mani/pedi at my spot near home. We have the limousine pick us up at 6:15 for our ride to the airport. We get to the airport in plenty of time. We check in and head over to our gate. Since Laura doesn't have a business class ticket no lounge access for us. However, I have to admit that the gate seating isn't loud or crowded.

We have overnight flights to Lisbon with a connecting flight to Barcelona. Europe has a new security system in place and I am hoping that clearance won't take too long. We have 2.5 hours between flights. Fingers crossed.

Let's talk luggage. I pack for carry-on only. Kitten packs like her trip is a fashion show. Laura has one checked bag, one carry-on and a purse. Considering that she is half the size, why does she have twice the luggage? Check out the pictures.

The flight takes off just as the rain starts, we settle in and prepare for a long flight. I am in Business class,with wider seats and only two per row. Kitten is back in economy, her travel budget doesn't reach Business class. Dinner is served and I have the mushroom ravioli. It comes with a very nice salmon and shrimp starter and a heavenly light mousse for desert. The entire meal with a glass of wine was marvelous. Food done, potty break; check, time for a nap. See you in Portugal .Read more
