Spain Day One (Sat - 8/7/10)

I thought I would start with something pretty....like the view from the balcony of our hotel out to the Mediterranean Sea. The picture doesn't do it justice.
Later we went and swam in it for an hour or so. It was a nice break after traveling for the last 24 hours. It has been a little bit of a rough start for all of us. We had all of the little annoying things like turbulent flights, maxed out flights, flights running late so you are running to your next gate hoping to make the flight to find out that flight is delayed 30 mintes that turns into 3 hours and, the worst flight crew any of us have ever had. Then some of the bigger issues were lost luggage (now safely back in our hands), lost/stolen purse, and death of a friend (not on the trip, back in the States). All of that with literally no sleep from 6am Friday to 1am Sunday, made it a trying day for all of us.

SO! We are glad the bad stuff is behind us, so we could move to our new hotel and start preparing for our work for the conference in Cordoba in a couple of days.  We have one more team member, Peg, joining us in Marbella today and then we will be complete.
