Hola Hola Pepsi Cola!

Whew! We finally made it to Spain! Traveling here was quite the trip. The six of us met at the airport on Wednesday afternoon to start our adventure. We all weighed our luggage to make sure they were under 50 pounds. Everyone was just under 50, aside from Christa, who's bag weighed 57 pounds! So she started taking out things that she didn't really need: 5 belts, baby powder, 12 pairs of high heels, snow pants.. you get the gist. As she was closing her bag, Christa managed to topple everything out of it! So, naturally, we all laughed as she tried to re-pack her bag. JUST KIDDING, we helped her out. :)
After Alyssa went through security and got her hair patted down, we made it onto the airplane. Libby got the privilege of sitting by a woman full of flatulence. As she was sniffing an unpleasant aroma, Chelsea was sound asleep for the whole 8 hours. Finally we made it to France where we had a three hour layover. Christa must have been really exhausted, because she decided to take a nap on a couch in the middle of the hustle and bustle.   

After a two and a half hour plane ride, we arrived in Malaga, Spain. Luckily, none of our luggage got lost, so we picked up our bags and headed outside to meet Rick, who was to pick us up. After going outside and crossing the street, we realized we needed to go upstairs first before going outside. So we took the long way to get back inside and upstairs. Finally we got a hold of Rick and found him with a big van to take us to our apartments in Estapona. We were a little surprised to see that Rick had spiky white hair and was from England! He helped us get into our apartment with our "dodgy" keys. Christa was infatuated with Rick's accent and attempted to talk in her own English accent, which was.. interesting. :)  Needles to say, we have been having a great time getting to Spain and we can't wait to continue our adventure!
