2:15 - Spend $6 on one slice of pizza :) totally worth it because it's from New York!

wander wander wander....attempt getting free internet....realize that we land in Madrid and that that is 7 hours from Denia.....AHHHHHHHHHHHH! calm down.....wander wander...play cards!....get snack....wander wander wander....go to gate....stare at family with Burger King.....change gate....Discover the cool part of the airport!!!!!! WHY DID WE NOT WANDER OVER HERE?!?!?!?.....wait wait wait....GET FIRST CLASS TICKETS YES!......oh wait...maintenance......wait....

I mean, yes I'm in first class but I couldn't burrow!!!! Chels: Sleeping was great!) wake up to hot coffee and delicious breakfast! YUMMO!

9:30am -Land in Madrid :)

OH CRAP

So here's were time doesnt really make sense.....b/c we were awesome and discovered that we would have to take a BUS ride from madrid to denia. That took us 7, yes, 7 hours and 35 euros...which is about $60. So, we had to take the subway from the airport to the bus station in the center of the city....easy right? NO! We were awesome and thought that we could get our 8 bags of luggage from one place to the other fine. We are idiots and will be making donations of clothing to the great country to Spain by the end of our stay :). That little trip from the airport to the bus stop took us 2 hours. We had to take breaks b/c our luggage was so heavy. This was a great way to learn why packing light is always good! But, the Lord always knows more than we do b/c this was a great opportunity to see the country side. Spain is beautiful! The drive reminded us of New Mexico or Arizona and then changes to something like California b/c there are mountains and beaches everywhere. Denia is beautiful!

  1. Wow, sounds like y'all have already had quite an adventure! I can't believe y'all brought eight pieces of luggage with you! I don't think I've ever travelled with that much luggage before, and I typically pack way too much! Nice! :)
