With very little Spanish speaking skills, no map, the vaguest idea of how to get from the airport to my hostel, and a growing credit card debt, I’m off to Barcelona in three hours.  I’m still sorting out what to pack (a process delayed by the fact that I’m still waiting for my laundry to dry) and what to do when I get there but I’ve got 40 hours in the city and I want to make the most of it.

Expect the usual twitter updates along the way (I’m going to be testing a new service as well that will let me send pictures along with my updates!) and feel free to send a note using the form on the site.  This should be a pretty hectic 48 hours.

On the other hand, six months ago at this time I was planning for an even more hectic and less well-planned trip to London.  It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is six months to the day that I left the US to come to London.  I think I’ve managed pretty well, what do you say?
