Benji’s new ride

We arrived in Barcelona on Saturday night, August 19, after 26 hours of travel from New York that included a missed connection and a long wait in Miami, a peaceful 3 hour ride on the AVE train from Madrid and several taxis, as well as a few long slogs through the airports and train stations.  But we are here!

OK, sadly our bags were not as lucky.  American Airlines decided to keep them in Miami for a while longer.  At least Benji’s and Mimi’s  (and Ibby’s and Brook’s for a few days).  But happily, for the first time ever we purchased travel insurance, so we’ve been out shopping for all of the “necessaries” that the policy covers.
