Adios Tejas, Hola Barcelona

T-minus 32 hours until I begin my journey across the Atlantic to Espana.

These are a few of the things I've been doing for the past few days in preparation for my trip, eek!

1. Translating the things I say in English in to Spanish in my head (often unsuccessfully)
2. Looking up words for the things I know I am going to need upon arriving in Barcelona: hairdryer=secador de pelo
3. Reading forums to figure out which bank to open an account at once I'm in Barcelona. It seems like ING Direct is a good choice, if anyone has another suggestion let me know!
4. Figuring out how to buy a SIM card (I unlocked my Iphone, I simply can't live without it...I don't know what I'll do once I actually graduate college and have to flip the bill all by myself)
5. PACKING, thank you Space Bags.
6. Venturing to the store almost daily...I always remember something else I need about an hour after my trip to Walgreens, Target...
7. Google Mapping the area around my apartment, over and over and over.
**8. Eating at all of my favorite restaurants and all of the food that my mom makes that I am going to miss so bad for four months. (Especially my beloved tex-mex)

If anyone has any Barcelona suggestions, let me know, I'm up for anything at all (as for now I'm mostly clueless)!

Excited, nervous, almost Spanish!

There's Nothing Better than Tasters

Enjoying a new addition to Grapevine Main Street, Grapevine Olive Oil Company. Not only is the store absolutely adorable and the manager sweet as can be, but you can taste all of the olive oil and balsamic before you buy it!!

If you stop by, you have to try the Vanilla Balsamic, Peach Balsamic and the Coconut Balsamic, they will blow your mind!
