Nope, Fred I haven't! I'll be there Friday before my conference and the conference is from Monday - Wednesday. I do want to spend a lot of time sightseeing in Barcelona, so I probably won't make it to Paris this trip (I don't want to come back tired, I want to come back feeling rejuvenated). I fly back to SFO on Sunday the 4th, so that should be enough time to really see the city, yes?
When I go to my graduation ceremony in London in March, I think I'll make it a Paris and London trip. I love that Aerostar dealie.
Ha! ETA it's Eurostar, not Aerostar!
Barcelona is really cool. If you haven't seen it, I'd leave time for exploring. And that is
the
place for food these days.
That's right. I said it.

Woo -- that's going to be quite a trip.
This "work trip" is my company's thanks to me for working 14+ days every day of my first 1.5 years of employment with them. It's been pretty much normal hours since this February but before that...not so much. So this trip is presented to me as a big "thank you" and I really appreciate it. The conference is only 3 days but I am getting a real vacation out of it.
That's really great -- there are plenty of people who work those hours and don't get jack!
(My lawyer cousin was just telling me she was in the office 300 hours in June. Of course, she gets a fat paycheck, but she was just doing what was expected...)

Absolutely. And though my work is demanding, it's generally enjoyable. I am thoroughly fortunate these days.
In short: I would like to go to Barcelona! I even know how to say it BarTHelona!
I can't believe we're here. It's raining ash. Half of my people are out due to being sick from the air or in evac zones.
I feel like I'm going to throw up from the stench.
Yikes! Take care of yourself....
