Aug 4: Up and out by 4a. The trip into Bordeaux was uneventful, except being as dark as possible. On our 2nd or 3rd attempt to find the right fuel station, we never managed. We will pay the ridiculous fuel charges because there is no one to call for help at 5am. Next we attempt to find the parking garage where we must return the rental car. That took a couple tries as well but we did find it. We caught our train at 6:30a as planned. Toting the heavy suitcases, changing trains, etc. It took a toll on us today. Stuart helped me with mine so he is extra exhausted. By the time we arrived in Barcelona we decided to get a taxi to the airport instead of a 3rd train. Our flight left on time and was uneventful. Again, 12 hours in the air after already being up 13 hours in the car and on the train. We are tired. Stuart got candies for the flight attendants and they brought us a little glass of champagne. A mere 12 hours later we landed in San Francisco. It took about an hour to get through everything and Uber to the hotel. We ordered Door Dash pizza and collapsed into sleep right after that. It was a very long day we do not wish to repeat! That said, we are safe and sound in the USA.
Aug 5: Up and out. Stuart headed to the airport in the hotel shuttle for this flight home. There was a delay but he made it home safe and sound. I took an Uber to the rental car location. From there I drove to Hollister and met my little great grandson Noah Lee Wakeman. I ordered Door Dash for our lunch and we had a nice visit. I left about 3p with ETA home at 5:02p. However, that ended up being about 6:30p. There was a fire road side on Pacheco Pass which made a long delay. Anyway, home safe and sound. I planned to spend the night in Hollister but instead I just wanted to get home.
