We're sorry that we'll miss the chance to meet George. Guess we'll just have to keep crusin' until he joins us

Happy weekend everyone!

Hello!
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
Karyn, so glad you are joining us and that we will get a chance to meet. Terry, I am excited to see you in person after chatting here.

Larry found an interesting site for Barcelona... thought you all might like to poke around and take a look at it.

Gothic Quarter | Barcelona | Video Tour. Information on the gothic neighborhood - buildings, architecture, square, restaurants, shops

La Boqueria Market | Barcelona | Video Tour. Information on La Boqueria - traditional catalan market - fresh food, fruits, vegetables

Parc Guell | Barcelona | Video Tour. Information on Gaudi's park

Lots of short little videos of sights to see... very interesting!

Thanks Susie! These are great. Now I have new places to visit in Barcelona.

Hi All. I haven't posted here for a while, but just wanted to let you know that sadly I won't be taking this cruise due to circumstances here. I'm very disappointed to have to back out at this late stage, but needless to say I'll be thinking of you all, knowing that you'll have a great time.

Karyn, I'm so pleased to learn that you and Joanie are to be roomies. I've messed Mike's plans around as he and I were to be roomies too, but there'll be other times I'm sure.

I wish you all a great trip.

Phil, we're all sad that you had to cancel. I know it was a hard decision for you to make but also know we'll have LOTS of cruises in future together to look forward to.

Phil,
We will all miss you, but we will look forward to the next cruise together! There just simply are some things that take priority over cruising... and we all understand that. Hope to see you next year!

Phil, sorry to see you cancel, but we will catch up on the Equinox.

Susie tell Larry we need to try a few of those Tapas Bars in the videos, especially the octopus one!!

Hi everyone!
Karyn - we're looking forward to meeting you too, as well as the others on this cruise.

Phil - we'll miss seeing you again, but look forward to cruising with you again some day.

Bill - I'm not sure you'll get Susie too close to those Octopus dishes! Looking at the video's I think we'd have more fun watching each other drink the wine at La Plata - just remind me to wear a dark red shirt that night.

We're looking forward to going back to another tapas & cava bar we went to last year, Optimus in the Gothic quarter. It was a great little place with a lot of character, great food and far less expensive than the places we ate at along Ramblas. Although there is a lot to be said for the outdoor tapas restaurants along Ramblas where you can watch the crowds and action along the street. It is such a great place.

We're getting so excited to see everyone while enjoying Barcelona and the cruise!
