Default Spain in two weeks!

Holy moly! I just bought a ticket to Madrid.

I was planning to go skiing out in Colorado and when I started adding up the prices I thought, let me see what it is to go to Spain. Turns out it was roughly the same!

I land in Madrid on the 12th and will be heading down to Granada that day. Anyone going to be in the area? Tony?

Awww...dude. Bad timing. I just flew back into LA last night . It was a quick 10 day trip for the holidays.

How long will you be there for?

Aw man... mine is also a quicky; 11-18th.

It feels weird, I usually put so much thought into traveling abroad. I literally just decided to do this yesterday morning.

I wish I could be so spontaneous!! I tried once, thought id just buy a ticket, but ended up pulling out all my wages slips and spent the next few days working out money and an intinerary. So instead I be the responsible one....

Hope you have a great time!!

Sounds like an awesome spontaneous trip. Have a blast.

So Madrid's airport is apparently in a state of shock because they had heavy snow. I guess it caught them a bit flatfooted. Hopefully the next time I post to the boards will be from that city filled with beautiful women, blood and sun (hmm...that sure does sound a lot more poetic in "Granada" )

I had missed that thread, so when I first read it I thought it was new from today and went "wow, Joey bought a ticket for tomorrow, that's last minute!":D

Have a great time in España!
