Thanks very much
FlightNurse. Glad my TRs have given you some ideas about great places to visit. And yes, the princess is wondering the same thing about the hotel.

Yup, but even Mrs. SFO was starting to wonder about two TATL trips in two weeks.

Looking forward to it. I'm curious if you could have gotten FCT access on your inbound ticket (though the connection time suggests the FCL was the better decision). AWESOME use of the LAN 5th Freedom flight (and a great use of Avios) -- they are switching that from A343 to B787 in the next year.
amolkold, agh indeed. Too bad I didn't have my FT tags at The Grove. I thought about the FCT and the limo ride but we arrived at A32 so there was just not enough time to go the the FCT. But the new FCL was wonderful. Hardly anyone there and a terrific dinner in between flights. Yeah, I'm excited about that LAN flight. Stumbled on it by accident... much better than the Y seat masquerading as Business on European airlines.

Thanks
FlyIgglesFly. Sorry, I'll try to keep the pics and narrative to a minimum.

Yes, still alive but she has informed me not to use tripadvisor as a hotel source any more.

Great start! Can't wait to see the photos from Spain!^
Thanks
UA_Flyer. Yeah, writing TRs is more fun than my day job.
Mrs. SFO was not impressed. "No robe? No slippers? Why do you do this to me?"
The lady is clearly spoilt rotten. If she doesn't bring her own robe and slippers (and who would be seen dead in a hotel's set?, let's face it!), then she needs to join the Reality Travel Club.
Yes, I do spoil her but that is my choice. And she does put up with extra connections and weird routings to satisfy my flying whims and curiosity. We give and take and banter at each other. It has worked well... so far.

Yeah, tell me. I only booked three of these before the back door was closed.
