The Day Before Day Zero

I´m now in Barcelona, almost ready for our early morning flight tomorrow. We´ll be flying to Bogota via Paris and Caracas, so it will be a looooooong haul flight, with a few too many take offs and landings for JP´s liking (you could say he's not a fan of flying).
After much contemplation I finally decided to buy a guide book to keep me occupied on the plane while JP has his long, drug-induced sleep. I went to the lovely little travel bookshop on Travessera de Gracia, and had the Lonely Planet guide and the Bradt guide to choose from. The shop owner confirmed that, as I had been told before, the author of the Lonely Planet guide had never even been to Colombia, and so Bradt was clearly the right choice.
Not much else to say at this point...just cramming last minute purchases into my bag and trying to decide which of my two novels to read on the plane when I get tired of the guide book and what sweets to munch on.
So, with a smile as wide as the ocean I´ll be crossing tomorrow, I´m happy to say that my next and the first official post will be from COLOMBIA!
