Getting a phone call from my mum the other night and having her pretty much order me to go somewhere else on this trip of mine...yes I had to be told by my mum to spend money and to go on a vacation somewhere...what great parents I have. Most parent's lecture their because they GO on vacations.
Anyways after about 10 minutes of deliberation and checking various weather reports I've decided on going to Barcelona for a few days. The best part was I got a plane ticket there for about £230, a tad expensive when you think about it, but given that a train to Scotland or Paris would have been £288 and a plane ticket to Munich would have been some £300, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where I should go. But what really sealed the deal is the weather...yes the weather! I'm so sick of cold and rainy days that anywhere remotely warm was going to fantastic. I didn't think it would be THIS good though, checking the 10 day it shows high 80's and nothing but sun.
I also booked the coolest hotel...well ok looking at the pictures it's a pretty good looking hotel. It worked out to be about £60 a night, which isn't bad since the hostel I found was £49 a night. I will pay an additional £11 to not have to sleep in same room with a bunch of people and have a chance of my stuff getting nicked. The hotel though is right right outside of the main downtown so that is why it was cheaper, but still I have no idea how I got that price, their website says rooms are typically around £145 a night...£145! I booked it for more then 50% off. I love deal shopping, it's one of my most increase skills since I've been here...I know my mum would be proud of me for that.
This is the stuff adventures are made out of though, spur of the moment trips to a land where you know nothing of the culture, the language, the food, or anything. I'm not worried, I'm to excited to be worried.
