Our flight on American Air was purchased through 1.800.fly.europe. The one way ticket was really cheep.... about 400.00 each, but the routing is crazy. We fly from GSP to DFW to JFK to Barcelona! We are scheduled to arrive in Barcelona at 10:30 on Oct 5. We will use the AeroBus to get to our hotel.
We are booked for two nights at The Hotel Barcelona Continental http://www.hotelcontinental.com/web/biznietos.php?apartado=43&Plugar=1&opcion=12&barcelona . It is a great location on Las Ramblas. A big group is staying there and we have planned to get together a couple of times before sailing.
We met Sandi and Gary on Cruise Critic. They live in Boiling Springs and New York. Sandi emailed me and we met for dinner last winter. Then we all took Shag lessons together!! It was fun but can't say any of us are super dancers. Anyway they get into Barcelona about an hour after us, so we are going to try to find them when they get off their plane and share a ride to the hotel, leave our bags, get some lunch and wander around for few hours until our rooms are ready.
I don't do well on these overnight flights so expect to crash early. We have to be up fairly early the next morning to go to Montserrat.
Jack is going to be the leader of our group of 10. He has directions and a map so I know we are in good hands. The ticket includes the train ride, lunch and all the sights including a museum (you know what I think about museums!) . It is suppose to be beautiful..... I'll let you know.
There is a dinner that night at a Tapas place that about 25 people are attending. We are not going. Maybe if I change my mind, I will but right now I'm thinking an early night.
We have chartered a bus to pick up 36 of us at the hotel and take us to the port at 10:30 the next morning. I think we are to meet at 9:00 for breakfast.
