Sorry it has been so long since the last posting ..... It has been just like "The Amazing Race" here .... After driving to McGuire AFB in New Jersey to catch a flight to Germany we got there only to find that the flight had been cancelled......bummer.....however there was a flight to Moron AFB in Spain......which none of us had ever heard of .....well, at least it got us to Europe so we signed up to go.....about 34 of us.....we waited anxiously for roll call at 5:00 to see if we were getting on and we made it!......so after a few "technical" difficulties with the plane..... We were on our way to Spain..... The good thing was that this was a KC-10 refueling plane with regular airplane seating so we didn't have to sit on the sides of a cargo plane ....very nice , seven hour flight.......great crew of young men......no windows on the plane so we really couldn't see where we were landing... when we got off the plane we found that we were in the middle of absolutely nowhere....it is aTeeny-weeny Spanish AFB that allows USAF planes to land.....we were taken into the terminal which was about as large as our living room and were told that transportation out is difficult....they don't fly from there to anywhere......very fortunately we had a wonderful gal with us that speaks Spanish .....more about her later.......she managed to get the group of us that were going to Italy into a cab into the town of Moron where after running with all of our luggage and backpacks for about a mile, we got on a bus to Sevilla, a larger city with more transportation opportunities ......the ride was one hour and cost us each about seven dollars........ We arrived in Seville Spain last night and it is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen......food here is unbelievable and very cheap ....and we have a darling and ultra-clean hotel to stay in.....but now the difficulty is getting to Italy.... More later and we will introduce you to Tony....very sleepy now, haven't slept much..... I will post more tonite.....can't do pics yet.... Can' find an electrical adapter for my laptop.... But I will!
Love......Tom and Jackie
