Preparing for Spain

Tomorrow we leave for our week in Spain. Preparing for this trip has been odd for both Jason and I. Somehow it hasn't seemed real and we have not had that excited buzz about going on a trip. Don't get me wrong, we are looking forward to the trip but we just haven't done any major research in preparation. I think it is for a couple reasons. I think that because we aren't taking a huge transatlantic flight it doesn't seem like such a big deal and because we are viewing it as more of a beach vacation. That means no major sight seeing just enjoying the sun of a beach week. Of course we plan on seeing a few sites so the other night we broke out the Seville & Andalusia book and figured out what might look interesting. We are planning on going out to Gibraltar so Sofia and Ali can see the apes. It will be interesting for Jason and I too since it is suppose to be very different from Spain. I'm looking forward to seeing this famous place that I have read about in books throughout my school years. We will take a couple other afternoons and take drives inland to see some of the white villages of Spain. Other than that we may catch a couple local markets but that is it. We plan on sitting on the beach in the morning and at the pool in the afternoon. Of course before I do any of that I actually have to pack!! I'm off to complete my packing. I will post more when we get back from Spain.
