BIG BIRD

It's a Boeing 747 and we are all together in the right rear of the aircraft which is full.

Ryan takes a Zantac and goes out like a light on Erin's shoulder.

The rest of us eat the meal, watch a movie and get about two hours sleep before they wake us up for a damp muffin and some sour orange liquid. We are dumped at Heathrow at 6:30 am, but our watches and our heads still say 1:30. It's two hours to our next flight and we sleep on some couches near the gate. Our next plane is an Airbus A307 and the flight is less than two hours, while we lose another hour on our watches. It's about noon when we meet the NETC bus. We almost feel normal and we are excited. Airport announcements are in English, Castillian and Catalan.
We drop stuff off at the Hotel Ámister and meet our guide, Raquel. A little walk and a metro ride later, we are hanging out at Plaza Catalunya, the heart of Barcelona!
