First, we missed our Airport shuttle by about a minute at Tulalip&#8230;saw it there from I5, but gone three minutes later. So we had to make an unplanned trip to Seatac to find parking ($$$!), etc&#8230;.not the leisurely trip we had pla nned. Call that Ouch #1.<\/p>\n<p>Got to Dallas ok (surprise, no food on board for 4hour flight, never ran into that before&#8230;who knew?) \u00a0Enough of a layover there to grab a quick bite before the next leg to London. Went through boarding, waited&#8230;..waited&#8230;for mechanical problem remedy, finally we all got off and a couple of \u00a0hours later boarded new plane for uneventful flight to Heathrow. A little side note&#8230;I hadn&#8217;t recalled how Hot and Sweaty it was on planes during boarding! Or feeling so grungy so early in the trip!<\/p>\n<p>Delay at Dallas made for close connection in London, but late afternoon flight to Barcelona on British Airways Airbus was smooth, beautiful, and comfortable, with roomier, \u00a0more comfortable seats, a quiet ride, and a spectacular approach over the Pyrenees, then swinging out over the Med for sunset view of the city, the coast, and layers of mountains stretching away into the Twilight.<\/p>\n<p>More later!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ipad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This post is done on our new iPad&#8230;still low on the learning curve. So e.g., I make lots of typos, and the iPad corrects them by guessing what words Asia thinks I am at hyping and then Fills the a in S is thinks it should, willy-nilly making up words as it goes along&#8230;this last sentence is a pretty good example.
