En Espana!!

We made it! We're finally here! We just arrived at Pat's flat and are enjoying some croissants and reenergizing before trekking out on our first adventure.

We left from Green Bay at about 10:00 am Thursday. Then, arrived in Detriot with not much of a layover. We quickly hopped on a jet to JFK in New York -- such a cool city to fly over! I certainly enjoyed the window seat.

After a long layover (4 hours) in New York, we jumped on the big plane to Madrid. We ended up sitting on the tarmac for some time before they told us there were maintenance problems. We went back to the gate (thinking we would have to change aircrafts). After two hours of a very toasty wait, they informed us that there weren't any problems after all -- that a indicator light was out. Gotta love it!

Overall, travels went well. We arrived in Madrid at noon (about 2-1/2 hours late). Pat met us at the airport and we took the metro to his flat and here we are!!!

Next up, Sevilla. We're getting ready now (it's about 2:00pm), and we'll catch some lunch and then the 6:00 train. The trip will be 2-1/2 hours. We've booked a great hotel for the night: Hotel Amadeus. That's all for now! Pictures and Sevilla to come!!
