Dennis' brain from the inside.
It's been said that a can of Coke has the same number of calories as a bottle of beer, or a glass of wine, albeit with a shitload more sugar. Also a bottle of wine contains 4.3 glasses (6 ounces). So calorically-speaking we have consumed 42 cans of Coke each since we arrived in Spain …
Day 14 Fred and I decided to do a little site seeing on our own this morning before I stopped at our latest coffee spot. Fred has really warmed up to his new Spanish SIM card. Gone are the old days of laying on our counter back in Castlegar inhaling beside a glass of scotch …
I was just waking from my afternoon siesta (hey, when in Spain) and was thinking of some of the people who follow my blog and my youngest sibling came to mind. She, being of the female persuasion, is 10 years my junior. I at an exaggerated 5'6" (165cm) am the Eiffel tower of the family …
As we were loading up for our latest move I looked around me and double-checked my mental list. Small denomination Euros, check, credit card tucked away in my special place (Let's not get silly here people), check, sunglasses, check, Fred, check. Then I look up at Carol and she's thrusting the money belt towards me. …
Day 7-10 We had a near-death experience last night when we returned to our condo. It looked fatal initially but with sweaty palms, I, with Carol's calm demeanor backing me up, was able to save the victim. She had been laying face down for hours and we assumed everything was normal as that is her …
I was sitting on a bench on a hot and sunny day around noon outside a ceramics shop in Sevilla while Carol was inside looking for new decor items for our kitchen. He was 25 feet away standing beside his parent's car as they were loading up the trunk with new purchases. He was in …
Day 4-6 part 2 Oh! oh! oh! I forgot to mention that we stopped at Orange, a huge wireless provider, and purchased new SIM cards for our phone! Just as Europe celebrates liberation from the Germans, we are now liberated from the stratospheric Canadian data costs. Ya stick it Telus!! Our new European plan includes …
Day 4-6 I'm adding a new feature this trip. Its called the TRS meter. The Travel Richter Scale which will gauge what impact the situation or town has had on us. As an example: An afternoon at Barcelonettta Beach on a sunny day is a TRS 9 or 10, a winter's evening doing anything in …
Day 3 Exhilarated upon arriving in Madrid, the culmination of 7.2 months of planning has finally arrived! Despite Spain not being an economic juggernaut the Madrid airport is impressive. Very spacious, to the point of needing an Uber golf cart to transport patrons from our terminal to Spanish Customs. Despite several videos showing antidotes to …
Day 1.5 - 2 The taxi came through and deposited us at Spokane airport with time to spare. In a mere hour and a half we were skyward on the first aerial leg of our wonderful adventure. Only 2 seats on each side of the aisle so I had no one to talk to (Carol …
Day 1 I booked our flight to Madrid 7.3 months ago and despite a myriad of possible choicess regarding travel points used and money added for convenient schedules I decided on the cheapest option . Partly just so I could inject into any random conversation that "Oh ya, were flying to Europe for $18" and …
