Our trip to Spain!
In March 2003, Giselle and I decided we had to get off our butts and go to Spain, since we'd been planning to go for YEARS! Giselle had never been there, and I hadn't been back since 1994, when I got to spend a week back in Salamanca as a graduation present. We decided we only had time to see one or two cities, so we settled on Barcelona and Madrid.
The Itinerary:
March 12 - Depart Dulles for Barcelona, on KLM/NW
(via Amsterdam)
March 13 - arrival in Barcelona - the taxi driver had no idea how to find our
hotel!
The Catalonia Princesa Hotel
was incredible - if you're going to Barcelona, you should stay there!
March 16 - 7am train to Madrid (waaay to early, but totally worth it -
especially in first class!)
Hotel Tryp Rex Gran Via
- not as highly recommended, but very centrally located.
March 19 - Return flight from Madrid to Dulles (again, via Amsterdam)
