Departures

Sitting in the departure gate at YVR, trying to not get overexcited about the next 3 weeks. Barcelona is a city that I have long wanted to visit. Architecture, art, food, wine ... a great place from which to begin a bicycle trip. 

Last night we stayed at an airport hotel that offered free parking for the length of our trip. All-in-all, not a bad deal. I was trying hard to appreciate the "deal" in the early morning hours with the party going on a few doors down. From now on I should resolve to throw on some clothes and join the party. After all, if they are going to keep you from sleeping, you might as well drink their beer! 

The next day will feature lots of napping, reading, movie watching, and too much restlessness as we fly half way around the world. I'm hoping that the AirTransat crew were not staying in the party room.

... talk soon!
