    Some months ago, I was invited to visit Barcelona. At the time, I surprised myself as much as anyone when I said, “Sure!”. Usually, when I say yes to something I regret it later, but I just didn’t think about it this time and when the time got closer, I embraced the potential experience. To…

    Ladies’ trip with the fabulous A.N. in Palma Majorca (Mallorca) is a wrap with wonderful memories, lots of laughs, much chit-chat, and as an overall amazing experience. First, about Palma – the Spanish capital of the Balearic island of Mallorca (Majorca in English spelling). It’s an interesting city with a mix of flavors in architect…

    It’s been a bit busy this week with final electrical work being done on the kitchen, changing of seasonal clothes around in the closet, yoga and tennis, plus preparing for my long weekend ladies’ trip to Palma Mallorca. I haven’t been to Spain for a proper visit in quite some time, so it is nice…

    Is it possible to travel too much? Am I just too spoiled in my ‘old age’ that when I go to a new city, it’s not as exciting as it used to be? I’m in Madrid for a conference (INTED 2015). I was here before about six years ago with my mom and Aunt Sue.…

    My last day in Spain was spent in transit. My aunt kindly got up early with me to take me to the train station in Malaga. Since we were told it was hard to find due to construction in the area we left early.The 30-minute drive led us almost directly to the station. We only…

    After a bit of a stressful day in Morocco, we decided to take it easy the last couple of days that we had left in the Costa del Sol. One town that my cousin had heard was good for the beach and shopping was Torremolinos. So, we decided to check it out. When we arrived,…

    One of the places I wanted to be sure to see while I was in the southern part of Spain, was Morocco. All of the travel books recommend taking a tour or hiring a guide to ensure ease of border crossing and avoidance of hassling from the peddlers. As we were unable to get a…

    We are planning to take a day tour to Morocco one of these days but have been having some trouble with finding a guide from our books. So, we decided to do Gibraltar for the day. I started with a swim in the pool as I have to maintain some sort of fitness to keep…

    We are based on the Costa del Sol, so the idea is that we will take a few day trips around the area. Our first trip was to a town called Nerja. It is the southeastern-most point in Spain, I think and is known for the caves and beach area. Thus, we did both. The…

    View of the Mediterranean Sea from cabina Because my cousin came in from Oregon in the morning, we made no big plans for the day. So, for the first time in about a week, we just relaxed the entire day. The Costa del Sol I had planned to try using the Internet in the morning,…
