to the Azores!

The sub headline says it all. I'm delirious. I didn't finish somethings I wanted to. I'm hungry and have to pack and be up at 05:30. I waited until this week to do almost everything. I still haven't booked a place to stay in Madrid. I just bought my ticket to the Azores....

HERE I COME VALENCIA! better watch out!

I have so many things to do before my trip. Anything from laundry, to buying a digital camera, to finishing school work, to cleaning the house, to calling VISA and looking at Eurail passes. Aye!

I still cannot believe that I'm going. I'm embarking on my first trip alone. I don't think it will hit me until I'm standing in the Valencia airport and everyone is speaking Spanish!

Are people really reading my stumpy little journal? I'm considerably confused because I didn't start this thing very long ago, yet It seems like a lot of people have looked at the page. Who are all of you? Can you say hi? Or is travellerspoint just trying to make me feel good by faking numbers of viewers? I know the journal isn't much yet, I'm just killing time. If anyone IS out there, maybe introduce yourself. Otherwise, I'm just going to think that the site is trying to pull my leg!

So according to my itinerary, I'm supposed to be in Andalucia during Easter week. However, as I'm starting to discover, everywhere cheap is booked solid. I'm not very good about booking things in a timely manner. I don't want to worry about where I'm staying, but alas, now I have to. I'm thinking maybe of staying in a very small town next to Ronda. But how I'm going to get to the bigger cities is beyond me! Hitchhiking maybe?

I have many questions. Some, more prevalent than others. Such as, how do photos look in this journal? That is the only reason I'm creating this thing. That and letting the hordes of worried people at home know I'm okay without actually calling. Clever me!

Family, friends, and people I don't know but would love to hear from... stay tuned for Maggie's travel through Spain to Portugal. Mostly pictures involved, and may hap some tasty tidbits of language.
