Hasta la vista

Getting ready...................
It's always a challenge to travel light and to try and get it all in one small rolling bag but we're getting better. Black is the color of the travel wardrobe. Temps will range from 40-60's so a light coat will cover any questionable choices.

Currently in a head cold management mode......the timing is lousy but hoping the COLD-EZE will ward it off.....don't feel any worse today so will continue to down the gallons of water and make offerings to the goddesses of healthy traveling.
Studying various guides, practicing with the BIG camera (which fits nicely in the new bag and reinforces my wise decision to get it) .
We are going with UNTOURS and despite our last minute reservation, they have been very accommodating and helpful.

We'll head north on Thursday to spend a night with Andy and Mason and then leave from Newark on Friday evening. An 8 hour flight and a 6 hour time difference might necessitate a quick nap before seeking out the local scenes and sampling

local brews and tapas.

We will have wifi at the apartment and hope to keep the blog semi-updated......more for our benefit than yours. We will want to remember the details of the trip and since our brains are totally full of 68 years of stuff, we need to keep the new memories in off -site files for retrieval. As we all know too well, we can remember what we did 48 years ago today ........

but not what we had for breakfast yesterday.......................... Adios
