[Ajojo]

and now I am sick and breaking out due to stress.

Where is the pause button when you need it.

oh gosh me too! Yesterday at work I thought that I was actually making myself sick with stress and excitement. I then determined that I must be crazy

I think so My gift is something you should get the first day is all. I might wait another couple days to drop off the kids gifts. This one is just one for the cabin as a whole. I hope I did it right- it's my first FE.

My kids are excited too. DS helped me put together the kids bags and he keeps talking about the gifts for all the kids. Adorable And about how we're going to see Mickey on the big boat. He remembers from the short cruise last year!

Yes, you are doing your FE's JUST RIGHT! Actually there is no right or wrong.....after all it's a gift, right? I am always happy to get a gift no matter what or when!

Birthday Party completed. All we have to do is let DD open presents and then we leave on Monday. Hopefully I can get all of this homework done and have nothing to stress about in Barcelona for those 2 nights.

Hola Amigos!

Estamos en Barcelona! a long, tiring couple of days. On cell phone. Keyboards sucks so try to forgive autocorrect it's usually not nice to me.

FYI - it's hot out here. Forecast for Sunday? 86 degrees. Same till tues where we get a chance of thunderstorms. Last Friday Barcelona recorded it's highest temp on record ever. 39 celsius. Y'all do the conversion. Apt mgr told us that fact.

Anyway, reason for my post: for those sweating transportation problems. ITS SUPEREASY, I mean supereasy to grab a taxi to the port. Taxi signs are everywhere. Follow them down and hop a taxi if your coming in the day of. Approximate cost: $20-30 euros and extra for extra or big luggage.

Also, the Aerobus is very easy, again very easy to take. Costs 5.05 euros pp. Constant busses are coming. Dedicated last stop is Pl Catalunya and drops u off in main square or feet n front of El Cortes Ingles. Or if u r facing Pl Catalunya think of it as a clock. U r dropped off at 3 pm.

Also, FYI, the first stop on the Aerobus route is Pl Espanya, where the Magic Fountains are. You will know it by the big, red arched. At night u will proceed up thru the arches if walking or get dropped off and the big fountain 1/2 up the hill is the spot. Very pretty during the day

Ok fingers tiring. If u have any questions FB is easier to get onto. U can ask there

Oh yeah. We r safe, arrived safe and my lost baggage was awaiting us when we finally got here

Safe travels my friends.

Me too, I thought we were going to pack light!

 

[penguinmomma]

We're crazy... stuff is sort of accumulating, but nothing's truly "packed' and I'm still planning how to get around at each port. But, it's hard to pack ahead with little ones, I think. We're pretty good travelers too. I'm making one last run to the store to stock up on entertainment for the plane rides for the little ones. Arrangements are coming together though. I'm very excited and the kids are starting to be too! Mickey should be calling in just another hour or two
