Travel Day - CT to Spain (Part 2)
Hi Friends.
What about travel that excites the soul and fills us with joy? Perhaps it is the new scenery, meeting new people, or tasting new foods. For me, it is all of the above and more!
Traveling to new places is always an adventure. You never know what you are going to find, what new things you will experience, or who you will meet. Every trip is different and exciting in its own way.
I have been lucky enough to travel to many amazing places over the years. I have seen some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, tasted foods from all over, and met some incredible people. Each trip has been a new and exciting adventure.
Yesterday I started to share the travel story, so today I will continue on with that tail from where I left off.
To get caught up, you can read Part 1 HERE
The flight from JFK in NYC to London was not so bad, I had an open seat next to me and had a window seat as well. WOOT!
While I was warm and happy on the plane, when I looked outside, the guy who was directing the flight to back up... well... He looked like he had seen some better days. OMG... to be him, in the below 0 temptues, having to just stand... hope he got some hot soup that night.
It was a 7-hour flight to London. Thinking now, I realy enjoy sitting by the window on flights to see the world go by outside. It's always so amazing to see different cultures and lifestyles from thousands of feet in the air. I love that air travel allows me to explore the world without even leaving my seat.
I believe these are both pictures looking down on NYC after we took off...
They served 2 meals on the flight, dinner and breakfast. The dinner had HOT (almost too hot) pasta, some small green things and a great dessert. The breakfast was a dry croissant and yogurt. They were not the best meals, but they did the job in holding off my hunger for the flight.

When we touched down in London, it was a good feeling. Like the first leg done, the hardships of getting the flight on time, are now in the past. My body felt a bit gooey, like it was not 100%... this I attributed to the lack of sleep and weird foods, but hey... Onwards and upwards.
For a moment, I debated staying in London. It is an interesting city aferall. However, it was raining, and it was cold out, soooooo ... Nah. On to Spain.
The flight check was easy and the airport nice. I got to the flight and was ready to board.
When they called my boarding number, it was a good feeling.
This was a much smaller plane and only a short flight, about 1 hr and 35 min. Again, luck shined on me and I had a window seat and no one next to me.
ON this flight, they only gave us a little meal bar and water
HOWEVER, it was what was written on the bottle that I found to be ... intriguing. It said that it was made with 50% PET... PETS? Like cats and dogs? WTF.. HAHAHAHAHA.. Sure, I know they were talking about something else, but I found it rather silly.
After a nap and some bumpy bumps, we landed in Madrid.
Again, the process of going through migration was so easy. Compared to doing this in Vietnam, it was a dream. The guy stamped my passport and said welcome... And that was that... I got my bags, did my health delectation, and sorted out my next flight for the 9th, on to Greece.
With bags in hand, tickets sorted, it was time to hit the subway and head to my hostile and start exploring Madrid!
Stay tuned tomorrow when I will share some photos of the city and a new story.
Hope you all get inspired and will head out for adventures as well.
Cheers and see you tomorrow
