Espana!!! Wow, two post in one day you say?? :)

So it looks like I am off to a rigorous start here again with the ol' blog!! :) Let's hope I don't get lost again. :) Well Matty and I are off to Spain on Friday. Yes that's tomorrow afternoon!!! It's come so fast as I only just bought the tickets the day before yesterday!! So I am frantically, ok not TOO frantically since I have written two blog posts today :), but either way trying to plan the trip so that we can see as MUCH as possible in our 10 days without me killing Matthew with my "aggressive" itinerary trips in the process. :) Ok, so I like to experience and see as much as I can while I am places, and I admit it can be a bit exhausting at times, but whats the not-so-charming saying, "you can sleep when you're dead." I just like to make the most of my opportunities be it in life, career, or travel what can I say. I'm an over achiever in that way I guess :)

So far the itinerary looks fab, and we are looking forward to the warmer weather!! Dublin has been a bit windy, cold, and dark reminding us a lot of back home in Alaska so that's kind of fun. But that said, upper 60's sounds really great right about now since that's 30 degrees warmer than it is here :)

So far we are scheduled to fly into Madrid tomorrow the 4th, and fly out of Malaga which is on the south eastern coast of Spain late the 13th back to Dublin. We are planning to see Madrid, Segovia, Toledo, Sevilla, and Cordoba. Then we are up in the air if we will break down and rent a car which we hate driving so we prefer not too, but it will make it easier to see the white-washed hill villages of Ronda, Arcos, Zahara, Grazalema, and one other. And also up for debate. Do we go to Gibraltar to climb the "rock", then on to Tarifa and then so that we can take the boat across the Gibraltar Straight to Tangier, Morocco? And then what about going further north to Granada to see the Alhambra and which ones do we make work? We shall see :) Being that we love to travel I am sure that Hubby and I will be excited on which ever ones we choose :)

On another note, it has been 4 years almost exactly to the day since I was last in Spain when I went over from Milan where I was working at that time. Here is a couple random pics from that last trip when I took a solo trip to Barcelona. Ok guess we will talk to you soon!!! Espana here we cooooommme!!!!!!!! :)
