I’m sorry for the crickets over right here this week – I solely managed to publish two posts as a result of we have been residing up our previous couple of days in Sevilla. One of many largest presents to myself throughout this lengthy journey was that I pre-wrote 12 weblog posts earlier than we left. It gave me the prospect to really unplug and luxuriate in, and now we’re house and it’s again to the routine!

I’m fairly happy with myself as a result of for nearly the complete journey, I used to be solo parenting. The ladies and I flew throughout the ocean to Barcelona, enjoyed some days before our cruise and after our cruise there, did the Disney cruise, flew right down to Sevilla, spent 4+ weeks there, and the Pilot was capable of be a part of us for the previous few days.

He was ending up coaching since he headed again to the airways, and whereas we have been hopeful the timing would work out with the journey, I didn’t work out that approach. Since he was going to be gone anyway, the ladies and I went for it and I’m so so glad we did. They’re older now which makes issues simpler, but it surely was undoubtedly a core reminiscence women’ journey! I nonetheless have some Spain posts on the best way, together with a few of my suggestions, Airbnb recipes, how I journey with zero jet lag, Barcelona’s gluten-free meals tour, and the meals, so keep tuned for these!!

They’d chickens roasting and also you simply needed to inform the man what number of you’d like, he’d get your rooster, reduce it up and put it right into a container, and drizzle with juice from the roasting dish. It was $11 and the BEST rooster. I’m going to overlook it!

The Pilot made it! He completed up coaching and hopped on a jumpseat out to fulfill us. He obtained there simply in time for the Father’s Day celebration at Isla Mágica, which is a water park and theme park. We have been with 4 different households and all the youngsters (and adults) liked it.

That evening, we walked to La Cabonería, which is a bar with reside flamenco. We obtained there simply in time for the present; it was good! We loved some tinto de verano and amaaazing flamenco.
