Packing, leaving here in 15 minutes... 6-hours to Madrid. Tapas and the chocolateria tonight... 11:30am flight tomorrow morning.

Paydirt at lunchtime. Paella. And monkfish with a mildly spicy sauce afterward, and flan, and coffee for the road...

Have a great trip home- and enjoy the chocolateria for me. I never did get there- very silly.

Mmm, paella- I gave in and made some last night. Yum....

Who knows... maybe next year? :)

yum! Wish we had made it back to chocolate. No thanks to QSS there; probably would have made it without their "help" with the hotel. Dammit.

Oh, and did you get my message about Pear & Almond Lindt bars? Yummy if you have the chance. No worries if you don't. Safe flights!

Sorry, I must've missed your IM by about 10 minutes on Wednesday. (snaps fingers)

Oh, well. Life is. And there are some things it's probably better not to have too many of anyway! You can put it on my list for next summer. :^D

Yeah, the only reason for staying at their (inconvenient) hotel was that they were supposedly paying for it... sigh. I was not impressed with their travel support, frankly. If I hadn't made a fuss the week before she left, they wouldn't have even given sarahh a cash advance. There's a pernicious, US-centric perception there that (a) the whole world of course takes plastic, and (b)every employee has multiple credit cards and doesn't mind temporarily financing business travel expenses out-of-pocket...
