Europe: Day 1 (Barcelona, Spain) - Dogs, Cross Airport Marathon and Lots of Food

In case you guys were curious, I'm sitting in a cruise ship cabin in Barcelona!

Today was one of the longest travel days I've ever had and we met a few unexpected friends along the way... Therapy dogs! On the way to LAX a passenger in the seats across from us was traveling with a therapy dog. He was very well behaved and listened to instructions well. The dog traveled great too!
Some PUP's (Pets Un-stressing Passengers) were also wondering around the airport. We were able to interact with these dogs. We met JJ, Sergio and their humans. They had trading cards too!

We landed in Terminal 8 at LAX and had to get to the Tom Bradly International Terminal on the other side of the airport. This airport is huge! We walked for what seemed like an eternity following an never ending sequence of signs and arrows. I wasn't sure we were going to make it on time but we did and had time for a little shopping too.

The next leg of our trip takes us to Frankfurt, Germany. On the way I binge watched a whole season of Big Bang Theory and didn't sleep much. I'm starting to fall in love with that show again. For dinner we had salmon with a horseradish sauce over rice with spinach. The vegetarian option was a pasta with pesto and marinara sauce. They also served us hash browns, scrambled eggs and spinach for breakfast before we left the plane. Because of the time of our flight we got dinner before breakfast.

Our last plane ride was Frankfurt to Barcelona. Then we had a 30 min bus ride to the port.

We checked into our rooms but our luggage wasn't there yet so we headed out for food. On our way out we got sidetracked by a Port Talk presentation where we learned about the activities and excursions for tomorrow. We actually left in the middle of the presentation for the dining room because we were so hungry and tired. We finally got food!!!

Our luggage was probably back by this time so we went back to our rooms to unpack and settle in. Then my Sister and I went to explore. We found the buffet and ate even more. We haven't on this ship very long and we're already eating everything we find! This is not looking good for my girlish figure.
