The women and I flew throughout the ocean to Barcelona, enjoyed some days before our cruise and after our cruise there, did the Disney cruise, flew right down to Sevilla, spent 4+ weeks there, and the Pilot was capable of be a part of us for the previous few days.

He was ending up coaching since he headed again to the airways, and whereas we had been hopeful the timing would work out with the journey, I didn’t work out that manner. Since he was going to be gone anyway, the women and I went for it and I’m so so glad we did. They’re older now which makes issues simpler, nevertheless it was positively a core reminiscence ladies’ journey! I nonetheless have some Spain posts on the best way, together with a few of my ideas, Airbnb recipes, how I journey with zero jet lag, Barcelona’s gluten-free meals tour, and the meals, so keep tuned for these!!

That they had chickens roasting and also you simply needed to inform the man what number of you’d like, he’d get your hen, lower it up and put it right into a container, and drizzle with juice from the roasting dish. It was $11 and the BEST hen. I’m going to overlook it!

The Pilot made it! He completed up coaching and hopped on a jumpseat out to fulfill us. He acquired there simply in time for the Father’s Day celebration at Isla Mágica, which is a water park and theme park. We had been with 4 different households and the entire youngsters (and adults) beloved it.
