On my way to Spain... sort of.

Hello all! Well, since I am a bit delayed in my travels I figured this would be a good opportunity for me to make good use of my time and start blogging, so here I am.

As the title of this post implies, I am indeed on my way to Spain, but thanks to American Airlines' incompetence, for the second time in a row now my departing flight was delayed to the point that no connecting flight could be made. And so, as was the case with my return from Costa Rica, I am now holed up in a hotel in a city I never intended on staying in, which this time is Chicago. Great. The only difference is that this time I had to pay for the room (they gave me a whopping half off, how generous!). In any case, at least I'm not bitter about it, right? Right??

I always try to look at the bright side of things while traveling because it's all vacation to me, but it is still very frustrating. I will make it to Spain eventually though, just not when I thought I would. So here I sit in my cozy, half-price, handicap-accessible Holiday Inn hotel room, typing away, while the snow outside keeps on piling up, threatening to delay my travels further. I suppose I will be updating this tomorrow if I have a chance, otherwise it won't be until I arrive in Madrid on the 8th. Off to a good start though. Sweet!

Keep an eye out here for more photos and ramblings, it seems this will be a much better way to put information about my travels out there than Facebook status updates. Hasta luego!
