On The Road Again

We apologize for not typing up more posts to this blog.  We didn't bring our own laptop on our travels so we're at the mercies of the various internet cafes.  (An interesting note, with the prevalence of wifi connections, there are less and less internet cafes, even in major cities.)  So there are a lot of great stories to tell but we're still living the adventure and don't have the time to sit and catch up on the story-telling.

We promise to fill in the gaps with all of the stories and fill in the gaps on the stories that we didn't complete.  You may want to check on this blog in a week or two and then scroll down to see what new blog posts we inserted.

Tonight, we are getting together with six or so of our friends from Pueblo Inglés at a restaurant in Plaza de Colón in Madrid.  It should be a hoot and a holler.  With the variety of personalities, I expect a raucous night.

Then tomorrow morning, bright and early, we need to find our way out of the Sol neighborhood back to the airport.  The hotel manager recommends that we take a train and then the subway.  So we have to navigate those two transit systems. Then we have the intricacies of having a 23-hour layover in Helsinki, Finland.  Yes, Helsinki.  When we booked these flights in January, we found that we could save $400 per person if we took Finnair through Helsinki.  The layover isn´t too problematic because we have the chance to get out and experience ANOTHER country and we do have a reservation at the Hilton at the airport so we can get a little shut eye even though the sun may not set for very long...

We´ll write some more when we´re back home in Milwaukee!  Peace and Love, Robert and Susan
