BIG D

i'm currently in DFW killing time until the flight to Madrid.  i have to say that i think by now we are at a point where free wifi should be offered in all major airports.  i mean, they have charging stations (seats with lots of outlets and usb ports just for charging mobile devices) but i still have to create a tmobile account and pay to use the devices i'm charging.  i understand it, i just don't like it too much.

something else i don't like, is the poor currency exchange rate at aiports - lol.  but what are ya gonna do. i hear it will be better when i get to Madrid, so i'll just wait. 

lest everyone think i'm only negative as i am about to embark on this journey, there are things i do like :-)

for instance, i like the smoothie i just had.  i like that they showed an episode of the office for in flight entertainment on the way down here (even if i slept through the first half).  i like that i'm typing this on my Dell mini 9 that is running OSX :-)

but most of all, i like what i'm about to do.  i will be honest and admit that i find this trip a little intimidating.  mainly because i grow tired of my own company VERY quickly, and if i'm not careful i am going to end up stuck with myself - and only myself - for the next 12 days, and THAT is rather frightening.  but who knows, maybe it's just what i need....

ok, that's it for now.  next time you hear from me i should be in Madrid....

NO ONE expects my Spanish Inquisition!!!

i'm not going to rehash how i came to be here, lest i get frustrated all over again (if you must know, look here http://denmarkgse-jeffry.blogspot.com/), instead i'll just focus on what's important - namely that i'm leaving for Madrid tomorrow.  once there i will be spending the next 12 days and 11 nights experiencing another culture and (hopefully) rediscovering myself.

i plan on sharing bits and pieces of my experiences here, both in pictures and words - so stop back by if you are interested - or you can just wait for the movie (kidding....)
