Adiós, España (6/23)

I'm writing this in the Barcelona Airport (BCN) waiting for our flight to Lisbon, which is the first leg on our rip to JFK.  We're flying TAP, which we've never flown before.  We did have to pay 110 euros more for a fifth checked bag, which held our (unbreakable) souvenirs accumulated during the trip.

I also returned the Enterprise rental car this morning.  I was worried about what would happen following the Granada incident (see earlier post).  I'll admit that it made me skittish about driving (and parking) for the rest of the trip, but--go ahead and say "I told you so"--everything worked out fine.  I even got the 150 euro deposit back, which I wasn't expecting.  The insurance was worth it.  I'm pretty sure other rental companies would be similar, but I have nothing but praise for Enterprise.

We got out of Barcelona a half-hour late, which cut our time to an hour to our connection.  We made it, but they were boarding as we got there.  That's too close for my comfort.  I'm beginning to think that I take vacations not to relax, but to subject myself to different stress.
