Barcelona Bound

One of the reasons I love working is to be able to treat myself to a vacation. This year, I traveled to Spain and spent a week in Barcelona before boarding a cruise ship.

My friend Michelle joined me on this trip & we had a great time celebrating our November birthdays in style!

Day one, I had an early morning flight from Albuquerque, connected in Phoenix & ended my day in Denver, where I spent the night.


An interesting bit of trivia—Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport is known as “America’s Friendliest Airport.” On an average day, approximately 1,200 aircraft and more than 130,000 passengers arrive at & depart from there every day.

The next day, I met up with Michelle in Charlotte & we flew to New York City. We hadn’t seen each other in about a year, and it was so good to see her.

We checked into our hotel for the night & got a great recommendation for dinner. We walked to Rockaway in Queens for some Caribbean food. If you’re looking for a fantastic meal, try True Flavors.


You will see & hear a lot about great meals in the coming posts, too!

After a long day of traveling, we decided to head back to our hotel for some rest. We had an early morning flight to Barcelona & I’ll tell you more in the next post!

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!
