And so begins our next big adventure!
Of course, me being me, I see this trip as a sequel of sorts to the last big adventure Sean and I had in South America (all those entries are still on this blog!). True to form for a sequel, this time around there is a brand new location, a new character (the vibrant and dashing blonde Elizabeth Dennemann), and a wacky road-trip premise (we're renting a car and driving aimlessly along the coast from Barcelona to Santiago de Compostela). However, some things never change: there are bound to be some disasters along the way, winery tours will be excessive, and I'm sure a ridiculous photo shoot will have to be staged at least once.
Blog posts will be just by me at first since I'll arrive in Spain two and a half weeks before S and E arrive. In fact, I'm leaving the apartment in about twenty minutes to go to the airport! My first two weeks should be pretty interesting since I am spending the time on Mallorca - one of Spain's Balearic Islands on the Mediterranean Sea. I will spend a few days relaxing on the beach in a small town outside the capital before heading to the other side of the island to the small resort town of Capdepera. There I will be working at a store/restaurant for the rest of my stay there! I will not be paid in cash but rather in free room and board. It's a little different... but that's the kind of experience I wanted! It should definitely be interesting. Sean and Melanie both agree there is a 30%-40% chance it will be a catastrophe and completely collapse within a day or two...
...I put the odds more around 20%.
LET THE SEQUEL BEGIN!!!
