First- I am here, in one piece, and I found my hostel. However, I felt extremely overwhelmed the moment I stepped off the plane. I am not prepared at all- even though I have a daily itinerary written out. But, I am trying not to get too discouraged since this is only day one. I think i was expecting an arrival party for me or something. I did feel a little relieved when I saw a familiar sight within the first hour of my arrival- somoeone singing in the metro station- thank you DC for that. I did watch two movies on the plane- Australia (my sleeping movie, sorry mom), and Bride Wars (which totally reminded me of karyn).
I am also officially not jealous of backpackers because I hate, let me re-iterate, I HATE my backpack- although it is only 25 lbs, it is bulky and heavy, and annoying. My shoulder is almost literally rubbed raw because of it! stupid back pack.
I almost got the whole middle aisle to myself on the plane ride, but I was nice enough to give up two of the seats to someone who was crammed next to someone else she didn´t know. So, I only had two seats, but I was able to lay down and sleep, which was very nice. Well, I am not sure if there will be much more going on today, I think I am just going to walk around and try to orient myself with where I am, but I will let you know if something interesting comes up.

Try to stay awake as long as you can for the first few days, it will help with jet lag. Also, you are going to have a fantastic time!, just keep thinking about the jealous ones back home :-) Right now you should be drinking some fine spanish wine and eating tapas..
