• Happy birthday to ME!

    October 5, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F

    I am traveling again! It's my birthday and I landed in Madrid this morning. Ten years ago today,
    I celebrated with my mom and siblings and spouses in Barcelona, Spain! We had paella, hoping to have that again on this trip. I am here to visit Andrew and Dani. Those who followed my Malawi trip can opt out/unfollow if you don't want to read about this trip. But it's going to be a fun one!
    My flights were easy and short compared to Malawi, only 6 1/2 hours from Philadelphia to Madrid, and the flight to Philly was only 90 min. Spain is 6 hours ahead of the East coast USA. I landed around 8am in Madrid and then had a few hours to wait at the train station before catching a train to Puerto de Santa Maria, where Andrew and Dani live. A really smooth 4 hour ride on the fast train, and here I am. Dinner and bed for me as I only dozed on plane and train.
