My last night in the States?

Ok, I'm taking a second shot at blogging. I have great intentions but who knows how it'll pan out. At the very least, I'll post a couple of pictures when I get there and let everyone know I'm settled and doing ok on the boat.

Also, I wanted to set up some sort of mass email, so this is probably easier for everyone involved.

To catch everyone up, this is my first time leaving the country (except to visit our northern neighbors) so even the idea of getting on a flight going farther than California is new. Christine left me a few Spanish phrases to help me get along while I'm in Barcelona, though she left out the 2 that I was really hoping to learn:

"I'm sorry, I only have a few dollars, I didn't realize a hooker would cost that much."

and

"Don't shoot, I voted for Barack Obama"

But, immersion is the best way to learn a language, so if I arrive in Spain before I have to get on the ship, I'm sure I'll pick it up.
