Made it to Madrid!

We got to Vancouver in plenty of time to have our backpacks wrapped prior to checking. Upon check-in, the Alaska Airlines folks said we could have had them bagged at check in - live and learn!




From Vancouver flew back to Seattle, oh my, what a treat! Flying over the San Juans, Anacortes, Whidbey Island and on down to SeaTac at 15,000 feet on a clear, beautiful evening was worth every minute of extra time. Then on to London overnight, arrived late and missed our connecting flight to Madrid, but got booked on another flight out about an hour later. We're settled in at a lovely hotel near tomorrow morning's train station, and we're happy the bags made it on time and in wonderful shape!



Our 'laugh at ourselves' for the day - we've learned how much we didn't even dream of learning before we came! Like tipping etiquette in a restaurant in Madrid. Oh well, I think our lack of Spanish was somewhat entertaining for the waitstaff, and we learned later that our tip was appropriate, so all was good.
On to St. Jean Pied de Port by train and bus tomorrow!
