April 1
Here we are on one of the legs of our all day journey. It went like this:
10 minutes to walk to the tram from the King’s apartment; 15 minutes to ride to the main train station; plenty of time to shuffle around and to wait; one and a half hours to ride to the outlying airport with the cheap flights; 15 minutes to a shuttle from the train stop to the airport…and then wait for the plane; then ride the plane for two and a half hours; and then in Barcelona – a bus to the subway; a couple of subway rides involving looong walks; and then a short walk to our destination – Mom, Dad, a 6 year old, a 3 1/2 year old, all their miscellanea for one week, and me.
It went off without a hitch and the children actually, and this is true, never lost their cool once – nor did the adults for that matter. How cool is that!?
