Hotel Opera in Madrid

After the rough night and morning in the airport and the plane. We FINALLY got to the hotel. All of my hotels are 4 and 5 stars. Which explains the awesomeness or the hotel rooms. Although they may look sort of small, the decor is stylish and modern. I completely am in love with it. And as you can see, they use lime green blankets. yes..my favorite color. Spain knows me so well!

You would love the bathroom by the way. Because the door is made of glass and so is the walls. Not that they are see through or anything...but frosted. So its kind of funny since you can see peoples shadow through them haha. The sink is really modern and new since its not just a concave, but kind of just a downward slope. And the shower has no door! yeah. You see that opening on the left of the shower in the picture? Yes....that is just the opening. What sucks is that itty bitty trashcan in the right bottom corner is the only trash can we have in the whole room. You know I'm too lazy to walk all the way to the bathroom to throw something as small as a piece of hair away. sigh... I will try to send you more blogs. But i realize this takes me forever to upload pictures because the internet is unbelievably slow here.

So what im trying to tell you! is that this hotel is so chic. I love it so. I shall miss it when i leave to Sevilla on Saturday on January the ninth.

Enjoy.

Airport Catastrophe.


The flight to spain was unbelieveably stressful. The whole program had to meet at the Newark airport in New Jersey, and with MY LUCK someone breached the security when i was moments away from getting screened. My flight was to depart at 8:20 pm, but we were asked to come 3 hours in advanced. I arrived at the airport at 6:00 pm. But because of the incident, all of the people who were already screened and at the gates, were evacuated and screened again. It was a huge mess. It took us another 4 extra hours to get through security, and all the planes were to be delayed because of the inconvenience. Our plane was to launch at 12:30 am. Luckily i made it right on time, but the group members were far behind and we couldnt split up and meet each other in spain. Thus, the only thing we could do was to stall as much as we can. It was ridiculous. I mean, we got to the plane and I'm here! But this is one of the most stressful airport experience i have ever had, and you should know Tiffany, that i have had PLENTY.

I believe the picture above tells it all. It is the line to the security.

Enjoy, and be lucky that you did not have to share my pain.
