I'm going to Puerto Rico for a wedding and to see Peter this week. I leave Tuesday for Bilbao, where I'll spend the night at a hotel near the airport. My flight leaves at 8:30 the next morning, and the buses from San Sebastián to Bilbao don't leave that early. I'm going to try to leave work a little early on Tuesday, but I have about a million things to do before I leave. I need to finish some data analysis, finish writing two conference abstracts, and do several other work related things. Plus, I need to pack for Puerto Rico. I wasn't super smart when packing to come here, so I don't really have beach/resort clothes with me, and I don't really have great options for the wedding and all the related events. Depending on how much I get done tonight, I might end up trying to do a little shopping before I go. Otherwise, I'll pack what I have, and if I need clothing, it's not like they don't sell it in Puerto Rico.
I think I'm having trouble focusing on anything because I'm so excited about Puerto Rico. I'm not even having my usual pre-travel freak-out. That isn't to say I'm thrilled about traveling. I leave here Tuesday evening and take the bus to Bilbao (I still need to figure out how to get to the bus station, since it's not very easy to just call a cab). Then I go to the Bilbao airport Wednesday morning for a 1 hour flight to Madrid. I have a 2.5 hour layover in Madrid and then a 9+ hour flight to Miami ... then a 2 hour layover and a 2.5 hour flight to San Juan. I leave Bilbao at 8:30 am and get into San Juan at 8 pm on Wednesday night, which is 2 am Spain time, so I'll be traveling for about 18 hours (not counting travel to and from the airport, waiting for bags, etc.). I'm sure I'll sleep well Wednesday night!
