Meandering With Murphy

September 21, 2022

I am taking an unexpected trip to Barcelona! Scott and I never traveled to Spain so it is a new country to experience. Susie, my good friend and nursing school classmate, decided not to go to Spain with her husband Tom who is taking a biking trip starting out in Barcelona. He wanted to go early and experience the city with Susie. Originally he asked me to go early and stay with her while he was gone. Susie decided she did not want to go and Tom came up with the idea that I would go with him. I have known them both since the 60’s, we have attended our children’s weddings and Scott and I have spent time with them. So, I decided to go with him and have a Barcelona adventure!

We only decided this and have been planning the trip since August 29th. It has been fun deciding what we want to do, where we’ll stay, places we want to see and of course where we will eat!!

We leave September 22nd, Tom travels from Wausau to Chicago and on to Barcelona arriving at 9 am on the 23rd. I travel from Minneapolis to Amsterdam and then on to Barcelona arriving at noon. We are sharing a two bedroom Airbnb, a first for Tom as he and Susie usually stay in hotels when they travel. On the 29th, Tom will leave for his biking trip and I will head back to Minneapolis.

We have lots of places to see and adventures so stayed tuned!
