Note: This was written on the flight.
Hello readers! This the last day of my Spooner In Spain blog! Today started with us waking up early, getting our things together, having a little breakfast, and hauling butt to the airport. The ride to the airport didn't take that long, probably 20 - 30 minutes. Once we got to the airport, we stood in an long line to check in our bags. After about an hour, we got to the front of the line, we checked in our bags, got through security, and got onto our flight with ease. We flew for about 2 hours, I slept for about a quarter of it though. Once we landed, we headed to the bus to got to the next place for security to get onto the flight. We got to security and we were just about go, but then the searched my bag because I forgot one water bottle in it. DOH! They had to take everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - out of my bag, which put us behind schedule. once we got it all settled, Dad and I sprinted to the transit to get the gate while Miss waited for some food that we ordered from a place called Giraffe. She got the food and headed after us. We got on the transit, basically bitting our nails and hoping that the gates hadn't closed. As soon as the doors opened, we sprinted to the gate. Luckily, the gate closed, yet. We checked our boarding passes with the guy at the counter, apparently, Miss was chosen for a random security check! It was totally not on our agenda, but, what are you gonna do! She went through it, and we walked down to the plane. We had made it! We boarded the plane and we began our 10 hour flight to San Francisco. After a few hours on the plane, I began to get a headache, and it was brutal! I took some Aspirin - thanks mom! - and had 4 glasses of water. I got out of my window seat and walked around the plane for a little bit. I felt better after a while. My headache subsided, and my tummy rely better after having some crackers and some water. Earlier on the flight, Miss and I decided that next time we fly on British Airways - which is an excellent airway by the way - we would sit in either Business or 1st class! 1st class is really cool, there are rear facing seats and there are dividers between the connected seats. It's really awesome. I hope we can get in 1st class next time, but it's really expensive. "Just add another zero to the price and there you go!" Dad said. I'm tired at the moment, because of my lack of sleep. I can last though. I don't quite know when I'll do another blog, but until then this is - sort of - Spooner In Spain!!!
Well done Mijo. You were a fabulous travel comapanion from start to finish. You tried new foods, went to museums, made new friends and navigated Barcelona traffic on a rented bike.
