Mallorca Trip - Day 11, October 18, 2008

Up too early (4:15 AM!), last minute packing and coffee before getting on the bus at 5 AM to go to the airport for our 8 AM flight. About a one hour drive. We arrive at 6 AM but no Larry who was to meet us with the bike boxes. Seems some miscommunication between the McCreadys and Larry (who was there!) so it al turned out OK after hanging around (nervously) for 20 minutes. Checking the bike with Iberia went smoothly - although this time we had to pay about 50 Euros. Flight to Palma left on time. Had a Starbucks in the Madrid airport and bought some fun cubic zirconia studs at the duty free shop. Flight from Madrid to Miami on time as well! We cleared customs in Miami and had a LONG layover (about 4 1/2 hours) - now I was feeling almost sick tired. The saving grace was that we flew business class and we got also got to take a shower and change clothes at the Admirals Club. I slept most of the way to San Francisco. Les picked us up at the airport. It felt good to sleep in my own bed. The trip was perfecto! I will cherish the memories. The next morning Rich and I went on a short 18 mile ride on SINGLES - I don't want to see the tandem for a while.
