September 5 and 6, 2018 – Flying to Barcelona
My adventure started with taking BART from Pleasanton to the Coliseum station switching to the Oakland Airport connector. I checked in for my 8:05pm flight at 5:15pm. While waiting I had a nice chat with a woman flying to Berlin via Stockholm.
They started loading the plane at 8pm and we took off at 8:40pm. The flight was uneventful. I slept about 4 hours. We landed 15 minutes later than scheduled but had to wait 40 minutes before luggage arrived. I quickly made my way out to meet the driver I had arranged to get me to the hotel.
I checked into my hotel, H10 Hotel Port Vell, at 5:30pm local time .(2:30am PDT). After a trip, to a nearby ATM for Euros. I decided that a shower and sleep were more important than food.
Tomorrow I have a tour set up of Sagrada Familia and the highlights of Barcelona that starts at 8:30am. If I had thought this out a little better, I should have left myself a day for recovery from jet lag.
