We had an hour overlay in Newark... what an interesting airport - super fast paced and in your face. The chicken orzo soup at the Garden State Diner was well worth the annoyed looks from the waiter for the fact that we were carrying all of our luggage...and kind of hitting everyone on the way to our table...oopsies. Made a new aggie friend who ate with Bess and I, Travis. He's fun! So tall, and such an eager beaver to meet everyone and make everything comfortable. Glad he joined us for dinner.
The transatlantic flight was a success, if you consider not catching any shut-eye successful...I watched Unstoppable and the Joneses, beat Solitaire after like 32974928374 rounds I restarted, AND fell in love with new music by Belle and Sebastian.
The ISA reps that rounded us up at the airport are so sassy, but so kind. Bess and I felt right at home immediately, haha. Met more people waiting for our bus to Madrid (the airport is outside the city) and everything has been such a stinkin BLAST. Everyone in our group is really friendly and easy-going, so A+ ISA for putting together a solid unit. There's already a mariposa sociable (social butterfly) competition among Travis and Bess - weirdos.
We only have 30 minutes wifi in the hotel lobby and I forgot my camera upstairs so I'll post pics ASAP of lunch and our quaint sandwich shop we found - SO GOOD...like REALLY REALLY good, and cheap. A sandwich, chips, and pepsi was 2.70 euros - me gusta.
TTFN, and Until I'm Tan,
Julia
