Here we are at the American Consulate in Barcelona


Because sixteen hours ago our "booty bag" was stolen including all passports, tablet, kindles, and camera. Yeah. Big bummer. We were passing through Barcelona (after a great stay on the Costa Brava) en route to an overnight ferry to the island of Sardegna.  Brad was parking the car and someone came by and said there was a problem with the car. As Brad got out of the drivers door to look, someone quietly opened the passenger door and grabbed the bag. It was a three person job.  

Considering this happened just sixteen hours ago we have had a great recovery. We spent the night in a Hilton using Brad's honors points and we have 5 new shiny passports. We are now working on getting on a Ferry for tonight.  And the kids are thrilled that their summer reading books have now been downloaded onto the I - phones!  Most pictures were backed up on the Cloud (except our pics from the beach).

Gotta run. Be back later.

  1. Bravo... What a rebound! I am so sorry this happened on your trip. I'm glad you were about to quickly put it behind you and move forward to the next exciting phase of your journey.

    It will make for a great story one day ;-)

    Wishing you much happiness, health and good fortune in Sardinia!
