Yesterday was an extended (7 hour) voyage from Cordoba to Valencia. I honestly can’t say much about Valencia except that it is the most modern feeling city I visited in Spain. The city of Arts and Sciences is an architectural masterpiece. Definitely check it out. I plan to return exclusively to check this place out in further detail.

We left our hostel for the airport this morning. I developed a new rule today. Here it is:

Liam’s travel rules #1
Don’t Assume Anything

failing to follow this rule fortunately did not result in dire consequences.  I learned that Ryanair, our  airline, is more like a skyborne greyhound.  It is first-come, first-serve seating.  Heidi asked why people were lining up, and I replied “There is still time shouldn’t be a problem.”  Turns out I should have paid attention to my ticket.  We ended up sitting right on top of the wing.  Which did not result in spectactular views of the Meditarranean.

Alright, I have a minute and 20 seconds left on this computer.  So I will say save our brief Roman adventure for tomorrow’s update.  Needless to say we landed safely and have enjoyed our first evening in Italy, I have at least.
