So I Go to LAX…

March 1st, 2010 · No Comments · 2010 Barcelona, Food and drink, travel

I have a ridiculously large rolling duffel weighing about 1 pound away from the 50 pound luggage gouge fee.  I have no idea what the hell I have in there that weighs so much. Actually it is probably the snacks and the sack of Euro coins. I hope there are a lot vending machines in Europe.

The picture is not blurry, the food is actually that crappy. Except for that weird tabouli lentil thing on the left.

And about 15 or so hours later I am in Heathrow Airport in London.  Have no pics, cause it just looked like any other airport except with a lot more British Airway and shamrock covered planes. (what the hell is a lingus?)

And then a hellish ride on a shuttle that took up through the bowels of the airport tarmac. we seemed to go through all sort of tunnels and warehouses.  I was totally expecting a animatronic Johnny Depp to show up to send us down a steep drop water flume.

But it was still exciting even though I was stuck in what was basically a purgatory mall at an airport.

One whole FISH with chips. (None of that Nugget or strip BS here)

Then another hellish shuttle ride (the jurassic park version this time) and then more jetlag purgatory at the gate where everyone is either sleeping or just staring out into empty space like mental patients.

And we finally leave and get to BARCELONA! So I will try to get pics up here soon!

Oh, and British Airways lost 3 out of 5 of our party’s luggage (not mine thank god! Ramen and sack o’ Eurochange still intact) so I imagine the first night in our rental flat will be like prison where toothpaste, soap and clean clothes will be a commodity (I just traded a pair of my socks for a carton of smokes and shank made from a baguette).
