Getting ready for Spain

My how fast this trip came upon me! Time to get serious about packing my gear, selecting camera equipment to take and getting some new clothes.

On Thursday, May 7th I’m off to Barcelona (via Amsterdam — maybe I’ll get lost and miss my flight.. hahah) for 8 days. I love to travel, but all of it has been North America (Vancouver, Niagara Falls, Toronto, Maui), Central America (Mexico City, Cancun), or the Caribbean (Negril, Key West, Montego Bay, St. Maarten). This time I’m really going across the pond to the old country. Nervous and excited all at the same time.

The first leg is Seattle, WA -> Amsterdam Holland arriving at 8:00AM local time. From there I’ll be on a European version of SouthWest Airlines to Barcelona.

Once on the ground I’ll be receiving tickets to the FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE ESPANA TELEFONICA 2009. This will be one hell of a way to kick off the APWG conference I’ll be attending.

Then it’s back across the water via JFK in New York, arriving around 2:00PM or so. I’m really looking forward to putting my own eyes on the Big Apple, even if it’s only for a short time from the plane. 3 hours later I’ll be on the last leg of my journey home to Seattle. Hopefully wiser, a little more tan, and packing some gifts for the people that work for me.
