My brother, Joey, has been studying in Paris, France for the past couple months. His study program is ending on June 20th and has invited me to meet him in Spain to accompany him on his continued travels. I could not resist the opportunity.

I am a preschool teacher in Summerville, SC and will be away from my class for two weeks. This travel blog is for them and the other members of the school. My goal is to keep current with my posts to say hi to the children, post pictures for them to see, and share what my experiences are. Thanks for reading!

This is an easy sensation when you pack a lot into one day. Let me catch you all up: My flights were very smooth. I took a plane to Atlanta to connect to my flight from the Atlanta airport heading to Madrid. By the time I found the gate and terminal, passengers were already boarding! I was thankful that I headed straight there instead of grabbing a quick bite (some dinner) like I was planning as I had about an hour before the flight but because the flight was so large (this was a 727 plane which can seat over 300 hundred passengers I think) they board ... read more

***These blogs are written by a preschool teacher intended for the viewing of preschool children and their families. Therefore if the content seems a bit simple or obvious it is because it probably is not simple or obvious for the three year old's hearing about it!*** it is the night before my trip begins although in a way it has already begun. The floor is a mess with things to pack for I have waited until the last minute for this task! I am bringing a large yellow hiking backpack and a small green backpack (like a school bag). The large bag will be checked in at the airport and the smaller bag will be carried with me on the airplane. I will fly to Atlanta Georgia and wait an hour before flying to Madrid in ... read more
