From Monsieur to Señor ... France to Spain

Saturday, September 28th, 2019

It was rise and shine early today, these are our last early morning views from the main terrace and the  Juliette balcony ... 








We said au revoir, hopefully it will be just a bientôt to “La Belle France” and we were on our way! 
First stop was the airport in Barcelona for Madame Susan and Monsieur Mark’s return flight home. 
The run time to the Barcelona airport was about two hours if there wasn’t any issues on the road. 
Everything was going smoothly. 
A pit stop about 30 minutes or so from the airport to fuel the car. 
Normally not a problem, but today was difficult. 
No pay at the pump feature so Monsieur Mark & I went inside to pay. 
You’d think this should have been an easy task ... aha the customer in front of us was having problems getting his card to work. 
Twenty minutes later after trying several different credit/debit cards with no success and a long line up of other impatient clientele behind him, the cashier finally moved him aside. 
To avoid any problems I dug deep in my wallet for cash (euros) instead of using a card. 
We think it might have been the gas stations’ payment machine that wasn’t working properly. 
Finally, back on the road ... the last half hour of the drive was the busiest with traffic. 
We did a “Kiss ‘n’ Fly at the entrance to the Terminal.  
With Madame Susan and Monsieur Mark’s bags unloaded, we wished them “Bon Voyage” and safe travels. 
Hugs and kisses all around and there they go! 



Footnote: We are already talking about planning our next adventure together! 
Our friends realize now that they aren’t just on vacation any longer (since they’ve retired) ... they are travellers! 




Monsieur Honey & I ventured on to the Costa Brava for one more week in Europe. 


Thanks for coming along for the ride! I still have posts and photos to share about our week in Spain; so check back soon.
