Travel!
I was talking to my manager at work yesterday. He went to Spain a few months ago, and reminded me that some of the biggest attractions are so popular that you need to reserve tickets for them months in advance. Which I sorta knew but hadn't really done anything about.
So last night I checked on tickets to the Alhambra in Granada, and the Alcazar and Cathedral in Sevilla. Unable to find tickets to the Alhambra on either of the two days we're scheduled to be in Granada, but found tickets a few days later, on the day we were planning to go from Cordoba to Sevilla... and Cordoba isn't far from Granada, so I revised the itinerary with another day in Granada and one fewer in Sevilla, where I'd been unable to find tickets to the major Sevilla attractions anyway. Then![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shalmestere did some more hunting and got tickets to the Alcazar and Cathedral, on the day we had been planning to go from Sevilla to Merida. So that's not too bad. The re-revised itinerary involves a few hours more driving than originally planned, but we're Americans; we can handle that.
Also made lodging reservations for the last two nights: in particular, the last night, we're at an airport hotel a mile from the Madrid airport, the better to make our return flight in the morning.
