On Thursday, I leave for a week and a half vacation to Spain. This will be my first "first world" international vacation in a while… (Actually since I went to Barcelona & Prague four and half years ago. )
I’m looking forward to simply relaxing and enjoying the beauty (and wine) of Spain. On the other hand, I’m so NOT looking forward to the dollar <-> euro exchange rate.
The plan is split time between Barcelona and San Sebastian, with a side trip to see the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
I’m also making planning on taking a lot of pictures. 
However, I’ve got a new resolution to take my time post-processing them when I get back. I usually just rush through it, and end up getting burnt out on. So, expect a long trickle of Spanish Photography!
Quick Facts:
- money:
- 1.00 euro = 1.552 usd (OUCH)
- local time:
- UTC + 1 (noon in seattle => 11:23pm in spain)
- weather:
- Barcelona = 87F & Sunny
- Sunny, San Sebastian = 70F, Partly Cloudy
Waiting the fourth part of your series on Silverlight 2’s Parts & States control model, i wish you good holidays in Spain!
Hi Karen,
Have a great time in Spain.
If you have a Windows Mobile device, I find this spb Traveller app really useful for those quick facts (and a ton of other stuff)

WoW! What a time to be in Spain? Have you become a futbol fan yet?
I read your blog for the great WPF articles, but good to know you are at the center of the world today.
Have a great trip.
