Flight Cancelled--Stuck in Madrid

So today I had my first cancellation.  Something dented the side of the plane and now I'm stuck in Madrid.  Actually it's not so bad.  I worked for about 4 hours today--long enough to board the plane and then de-board the plane--and then we got back to the hotel around 3.  Instead of really doing anything today I went to the mall that's near by and got some Starbucks Mugs. 

We aren't supposed to go back until Wednesday so tomorrow we are going to the town of Toledo.  Here is a video I found on youtube that someone posted of Toledo...

Trip #4 to Madrid

Trip #3 to Madrid

Hola!  So today was my third layover in Madrid!  It was a wonderful 50 degree day and I feel for the first time today I actually got to experience more of Madrid.  I started off visiting the bullfighting ring.  I couldn't go inside (tours end at 1:30 and the season starts in March) but I did get lots of pictures of the outside.  After that I visited the Royal Palace.  It's free to go into the courtyard and to see one of the rooms.  So that's what I did.  Then after that I got some churrors from what my guide book said was the best place to get churros.  YUM.  I'm back to Madrid on Jan. 8th!  (Oh and click on the panoramic pictures to see them up close.)

Some statue that I think is pretty famous...



Trip #2 to Madrid

So today I went to the Madrid city center for the first time.  It was decorated very pretty for Christmas and also very crowded down there.  The metro was very easy to ride and to find so when I come again after Christmas I'm going to try to go in to Madrid with a real plan.

Home...but not for long...



New Stamp in my Passport!



So my first ever trip went well.  I'm currently home.  The return flight is much easier then the going flight.  I think it was just a matter of daylight.  On the way out it was night and on the way back it was day.  Overall being a flight attendant really isn't a hard job, it's just a long job.  I mean today I have another flight and I'll be leaving the house around 2pm to get to the airport by like 3:30 then the flight takes off around 6pm and we'll land in Madrid by about 2am (8 MAD time).  I'll get to bed by 3am then.  So that's like 12 hours! 

I didn't do much in Madrid on my first layover so my plan for this coming trip is to go into the city.  So...I'll post more picture tomorrow or in 2 days or whenever it is that I'll be there.  I get so confused on the time.  (6 hours ahead)  I woke up today thinking it was Thursday.  It's not.  It's Friday just in case you weren't sure either.

Madrid!

I made it to Madrid.  This is a picture of the hotel I'm staying at.  Pretty nice.  It is 1pm here right now and I haven't slept much at all.  Maybe I'm just too excited, but I am wide awake even thought it's been almost 24 hours since I slept last.  I'm going now with this one girl Angie to the mall.  :)
