Spain Tomorrow!

Fun fact that I learned today: my deck is named the Venus deck and my side of the floor is at Adriatic Sea…pretty sweet

Anyway, tonight is my last night on the ship before we arrive at our first port: Cadiz, Spain!  We have been on the ship for 8 days now and everyone is itching to set foot on land.  I haven’t heard anything about how it is supposed to be once we step on solid land.  I’m sure it will be weird after being on a rocking ship for a week straight!  We had a pre-port meeting tonight (we will have one before every stop) to talk about logistics, where to meet for excursions, emergency information, and they basically told us all to make sure we are on time for everything.  My itinerary for our 4 days in Spain is as follows:

Wed. June 24th – Touring a winery then attending a lecture about wine production and management in Spain (hopefully it will include some tasting!) then I have the rest of the day free in Cadiz

Thurs. June 25th thru Sat. June 27th – I will be on a SAS sponsored trip to Sevilla, Cordoba, and Granada.  I have heard such wonderful things about these places and Spain in general – I am so excited!!

Well I really have to get to bed tonight because it is already midnight and tomorrow will be an early day!  I’m hoping to be able to get up at 6am to see the coast of Spain before docking in port.  I know I will be restless tonight because I’m so excited!
