Goodbye United States!!

Today is the day we have been waiting for all year- we are finally getting on the plane and moving to SPAIN!!  Although I am regretting not learning Spanish prior to boarding, I pray we will be able to learn the language fast and embrace the culture we are about to experience.  

That is a LOT of stuff!!!

Waiting for Steve to come back from dropping off the rental car:

Waiting to board to our flight to Texas

Just before we left San Diego...

Our flight left San Diego late leaving us very little time to get to our connecting flight that took us to Madrid and of course, we were the very last row in the plane. Once we landed in Houston, we literally had to run to the shuttle, go to the international terminal which was miles away (or so it felt) and run to the gate. Luckily they were waiting for us (we were the last ones on the flight).
Madrid: here we come!!!

 
In Madrid we also felt a bit rushed. We landed after a long 10 hour flight to rush through customs, maneuvor our way through the Spanish airport. Once we finally arrived to the gate taking us to Jerez, we could breathe... but not for long, we only had about 20 minutes before we were on our last flight of the trip.
After a full day of traveling, waiting to board to Jerez (pronounced: Jereth), these kiddos were amazing~

Almost done:



 
We left San Diego Monday morning and arrived in Jerez Tuesday afternoon.  What a long trip- but so worth it!!!  We are finally here and love what we see so far.
