Planning a Trip

I finally got together with my Christmas travel buddy last night to work out the details of our trip. It took much longer then I expected it to and we are still not finished!
It turns out that my friend who was supposed to be in Germany over Christmas will not be there after all. Her boyfriend was playing professional hockey out there and was injured so they will be back in Winnipeg by Christmas.  I’m disappointed because it would have been really cool to spend Christmas with someone from home (and one of my oldest friends!), and also because she will no longer be able to visit me in the future. And of course it sucks for them that they have to cut their adventure short!

Well everything happens for a reason. This means we have much more time in Spain and Italy which we will definitely put to good use!
Kim and I went to The ACE Club to plan our trip. Kim has an internet stick which usually works and I was going to use the ACE’s Wi-Fi. Well of course nothing is as easy as that. The internet was in and out all night, but the ACE is a nice place to sit and chat. There is no pressure to buy any food or drinks (but we usually do) because it is a private club where we paid for a membership.   We also have gotten to know much of the staff so they make us feel welcome.
After four hours of planning this is what we have come up with:
