July 13, 2012 by Susan Clarke
Day 1 – Tuesday, July 10 – San Diego to Barcelona, Spain via London
What I LIKE
- 8:05 pm flight
- non-stop to London
- 2 business class seats only 100,000 miles
- full lay down seat
- taking a sleeping pill
- waking up feeling mildly refreshed
- able to get on local time zone
What I DON’T LIKE
- the actual airport/travel experience
Day 2 – Wednesday, July 11 – London to Barcelona, Spain – arrive Barcelona airport 8:30 pm
What I LIKE
- Barcelona airport – no visa – no reciprocity fee – smooth sailing through customs! It wins a Gold Medal in the Travel Olympics! 10+ rating
- free shuttle to Renaissance airport hotel
What I DON’T LIKE
- having to go back through security when I am changing planes (it borders on the ridiculous!)
- waiting on delayed flights
- paying for internet at any hotel! the LAST TIME I will ever stay at a MARRIOTT property (this is 2012! we’ve had free internet all over the world)
