Here is our schedule for before we land on the Magic…
Tuesday, 9/14 4:00PM – vacation starts! Most of the packing should also be done by now, but we will be ordering out for dinner and finishing up the loose ends tonight.
Wednesday, 9/15 10AM – mom is due for a pedicure and manicure – complete with Mouse designs on the nails. Becca will have hers done over the weekend – and I am bringing polish to redo hers if needed. I am hoping that Daddy will also go for a pedicure as it is very relaxing!!
1:00PM – mom or dad will go and get the kiddos from school! First stop is Liberty Elementary to sign Becca out. Then it is on to next door to sign Stephen out of Freedom Middle. Grab and run as we have o drop book bags a home and get the kids into travel clothes.
2:00PM – Car arrives to take us to the airport. Off we go to Atlanta’s Hartsfield airport. We should be on the road by 2:15 – 2:30 and at the airport by 3:30
Wednesday, 9/15 depart Atlanta for Barcelona 5:55PM! We are on a flight with another family from Atlanta and a family from Texas that are on the first leg of the flight.
Thursday, 9/16 arrive Barcelona 8:55AM – plan to get through customs and head to hotel to check in and drop luggage. We are going to get 2 day passes for the HOHO bus, and spend the day sightseeing a bit. Not sure how long we will last, but home to see part of the city. We are also meeting up with our DIS family at 5PM local time at the Hard Rock Café.
Friday 9/17 Barcelona. We are planning on using the HOHO bus to see all sorts of stuff. Stephen is picking out what he wants to see, and so far it aligns very well with what I hope to see. For meals, I am hoping to find a grocery with prepared meals so we can do tapas in the park or something, and be surrounded by the culture. Also think that this will be good for the kids as there will be many many days of having to sit in a dining room. So, why not cop a sqat and people watch a bit? Also – it is my understanding that dinner time in Spain is very late. While we do have late seating on the magic, I am not sure I want to start dinner at 9pm or later where there may not be anything on the menu that both kids want… So, casual it is. Now, if it is raining, we are in trouble… I don’t have a contingency plan…
