I used whichbudget.com to see if we can catch a flight on the day we land in MAD to some other European destination. Too bad some Ryan Air (oh no!) flight leaves shortly before we land on our preferred date, it was only 20 euros to Paris each! Rest of flights are all way too expensive so I think we are going to be sticking with Spain for all 6 nights. I looked at getting to paris via train but it is a 13 hour overnight ride...and we will need a cabin and the price would probably be way too expensive anyway. Now I need to look into flying to the island where the Hilton is that was suggested some posts ago...and perhaps flying to Barcelona or maybe Lisbon...So many choices, so little time!!
