Final Spain preparations, and a hike

Spain Prep

Making my list, and checking it twice to insure I can just do carry-on luggage for this trip. Usually I take twice the clothing I need, don't wear half of it, and end up wondering why the heck I brought half the stuff. I am working hard to make sure I do *not* do that this time. Hard habit to break, I keep wanting to throw more things in. I have to remember: it is Spain! They have cooler clothes. If I need something, I can buy it.

I did end up buying a Rail Pass. I went back to the travel store, and we ran the numbers again. I ended up saving about $200 by buying the pass. I will still need to make reservations the day before I travel, but I'd need to buy a ticket *and* make the reservation without the pass, so it works out fine.

Hike with Dad

Dad and I hiked the Snow Lake trail this morning. It was gorgeous, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to upload a pic and see how it works on the netbook. The hike was foggy with occasional sun breaks, the black flies were out in full force. They found me tasty.
