Crossing the Pond

We left the Delta Sky Club around 5 and headed for our gate. They started boarding shortly after we arrived. We were on a 767 and had booked three seats in the middle section so we could have two aisle seats and our own row. Our plane also had Delta On Demand entertainment so each seat has it's own touch screen tv's with 10 movies, music, tv shows, games, and a live flight map. It sure made the flight go by a lot faster.

We had a long wait to take off because of the high winds in Atlanta, but it only put us about 15 minutes behind schedule. We had a bumpy flight almost the whole way but is smoothed out as we got closer to Spain. Shortly after takeoff, they passed out the immigration arrival cards and then began the first drink service. They had to hold off on the meal service due to a patch of really bad turbulence. Dinner was very good, we had a choice of either lasagna or chicken.

During dinner I watched Shirlock Holmes. Afterwards I tried going to sleep, but that never works well for me when flying. I decided to wait to go to sleep so I watched the Men Who Stare At Goats. Really good movie that helped pass the time. I tried sleeping again and got about an hour of sleep befor being waken up by the sun in my eyes, oh the joys of an overnight flight. They turned on the lights about an hour and a half before landing and served us a continental breakfast. We landed in Barcelona only 10 minutes late. I have never been so happy to get off a plane in my life.

We headed through immigrations with only a short wait. I got my first passport stamp, YAY!!! After hearing about all of the baggage problems in the Barcelona Airport we were glad to see our bags come around the carousel. We took our bags through customs and headed to the taxi stand. Sooo tired! More to come later.
