1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,240 What's up y'all thanks for joining the travel tales and talk podcast with Derek and Makayla. 2 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,240 I'm Derek. 3 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,240 I'm Makayla. 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,440 Thanks for listening and enjoy the show. 5 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,480 Hey, I'm Derek. 6 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,160 I'm Makayla. 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,400 And this is our podcast that we've been talking about for quite some time now. 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:37,400 We've made several trips to several destinations and people have always said we should talk 9 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,360 about these things and I've been mentioning it to you. 10 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,920 We should do a podcast. 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,920 So this is our first foray into the podcast thing. 12 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,400 I think it's going to be great. 13 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,600 It's going to be fun in my opinion. 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,040 I'm already having a good time. 15 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:57,720 So and this is the first five minutes of it. 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,120 If you got this far, you are the true champion. 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,120 That'll work. 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,120 Hang in there. 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,120 The best is yet to come. 20 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,920 That'll work. 21 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:14,560 So I know the first episode we wanted to talk about our trip to Spain, trip to Spain 2024. 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,560 And a lot of my co-workers, friends and family always asked the question, why Spain? 23 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,240 So why Spain, Makayla? 24 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,200 Well, I used to live in Spain as a child. 25 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,600 So it's, you know, has a, holds a special place in my heart. 26 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,000 I like to go back and visit often. 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,560 And I'm also a high school Spanish teacher. 28 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:47,080 So any chance I can get to go to a Spanish speaking country, I am taking it. 29 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:53,800 And I have a good friend from college who lives in Spain that I love to go visit frequently. 30 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520 So yeah, that's why Spain. 31 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:02,200 That's why Spain and my why Spain is because Makayla said, so my wife said, we're going 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,200 to Spain. 33 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,200 We go to Spain. 34 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,360 Not only that, I do like the Spanish culture. 35 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,800 I like to visit the historical sites, especially those sites where we can trace them back to 36 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:13,800 the Moors. 37 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,800 Oh yeah. 38 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,600 I love that. 39 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,440 But most of all, because my wife said so. 40 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,000 So but here's the thing about this one. 41 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,400 We went back in 2017. 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,080 So in 2024, we actually plan this one around Lafetia. 43 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,120 So what was the planning like? 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,840 How do we get our flights? 45 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,200 People know how we got our flights trains. 46 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,640 Should you rent a car? 47 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,920 What about transferring dollars to euros? 48 00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,000 Your credit card, debit cards, cell phone, international calling. 49 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,560 There's a whole thing to and then booking your hotel. 50 00:02:52,560 --> 00:03:00,720 So let's speak about the planning process pretty much from getting our flights to hotel 51 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,720 euros. 52 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,000 Well, how did you find the flights? 53 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,560 Well, I use a couple of apps that I search frequently. 54 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:20,480 I use Momondo, I use Skyscanner and lately, excuse me, I've been using a lot of just Google 55 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,880 flights, just Googling the flights, which is how I found these flights. 56 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:31,360 And I have a number in mind that we usually do not go over $750. 57 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,360 Yes. 58 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,920 On a flight anywhere in Europe. 59 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,120 You know, South America is different. 60 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,520 In Europe, 750 is our max and this time we went right under. 61 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,200 I think our flights were like $746. 62 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,200 $746. 63 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,200 Yeah. 64 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,760 Something like that. 65 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,080 And that was just off of Google flights. 66 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,440 And then you do have the American Express. 67 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:04,880 You have credit cards where you can accumulate those points to get flights and you've used 68 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,120 that a couple of times, but not in this instance. 69 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:16,520 Because up until this point, we were like avid Delta travelers, but this time Delta flights 70 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,760 were in the 900s. 71 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,480 So we had to get American Airlines. 72 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,880 And so we were newbies, we didn't have any accumulated points to use. 73 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,880 You did? 74 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:28,880 The work. 75 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,880 Excuse me. 76 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,600 And that's another thing we try to tell people. 77 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,240 Sign up for the rewards for those carriers. 78 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,240 I mean, 20,000 points that can get you a hotel somewhere or you keep accumulating those points. 79 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,520 Eventually you get a flight. 80 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,560 So take advantage of those opportunities. 81 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,880 Even with the hotels, sign up for those rewards, those programs. 82 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:54,880 That's my suggestion. 83 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,880 What do you think? 84 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,880 Yep. 85 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,800 All great ideas. 86 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:07,640 And then we chose April because that was for, we wanted to go to Lafetti, which is in Sevilla. 87 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,280 So we would also recommend checking around non peak season. 88 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:15,880 So not those tourist spots. 89 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,560 You don't want to go doing those times of the years. 90 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,560 Flight. 91 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,480 Get high, gets high hotels, get high. 92 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,960 Everything goes up a little bit because of tourists. 93 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:34,960 So also I would Google the best time to travel to these locations. 94 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,160 Like you don't want to go doing peak tourist season. 95 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,800 You're going to get ripped off with those flights and hotels. 96 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,920 So try to go non peak season is my suggestion. 97 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,920 Same with the flights. 98 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,320 You want to book your flights to where you travel doing the non peak seasons. 99 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,080 So we also, for the first time, did high speed rail in Spain. 100 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,040 And there are a couple of companies we use. 101 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,040 How do you pronounce that word? 102 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,040 Iro? 103 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,040 Iro. 104 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,540 Iro. 105 00:06:08,540 --> 00:06:12,520 That was suggested by a family friend who lives in Spain. 106 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Grace suggested, I thought that was an amazing train ride. 107 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,520 Even though it was my first time, it was first class to me. 108 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,520 It was. 109 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,520 The food was delicious. 110 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,360 Oh, yeah. 111 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,560 The seats were spacious. 112 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,560 The train was clean. 113 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,560 It was clean. 114 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,080 And it smelled good too. 115 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:36,600 I don't know if there were spring, fragrances in the air, but it smelled so good. 116 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,680 The train ride was very impressive. 117 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,520 And it wasn't very expensive either. 118 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,560 So we took it from Madrid to... 119 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,240 Our first stop was Cordova. 120 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,160 So we took it from Madrid to Cordova. 121 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,400 And then there's another company, Renfri. 122 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680 Am I saying that correctly? 123 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,680 Renfri. 124 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,680 Renfri. 125 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,520 There are a couple of high speed rail companies there. 126 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,880 Just search them both on Google and plan accordingly. 127 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,440 We chose the first one because of a family friend. 128 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,880 It came highly suggested. 129 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,280 So we jumped on it. 130 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,280 Yes. 131 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,200 Trying to book your seats together. 132 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:24,000 Yeah, the rates were a better deal for us on the aerial. 133 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Yeah. 134 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,280 And then booking your seats together. 135 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,040 Were we four and four? 136 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200 I can't remember where the first train ride. 137 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,080 The first train ride, we just set singular seats. 138 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,920 All seats were facing the same directions. 139 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:43,520 But on the ride back, we got the seats that sit in pods of four with a table in the middle. 140 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:52,040 So it's as if you're at a dinner table, two couples facing each other, if you will. 141 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,040 Yeah. 142 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,040 I like that. 143 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,040 I like the quad. 144 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,480 If you get four people, that's cool. 145 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,920 I don't like the quad. 146 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,800 Well, let me tell you about why I do not like the quad. 147 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,360 Because my tail didn't think to book all four seats. 148 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,240 So just our family was sitting at that table. 149 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,400 I booked it so that Derek and I were sitting at a table with two strangers. 150 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,760 And these strangers were booed up. 151 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,880 The woman was all in this man's lap laying all on them. 152 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,040 They were snuggling, playing with each other's toes. 153 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,200 And I'm like, really? 154 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,800 And our daughter, London Rose, was sitting on the next aisle over. 155 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,360 So she could clearly see this. 156 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,480 And she was sitting with a stranger. 157 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,800 I didn't plan it right, y'all. 158 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,080 And that's the school, though, if you can book the whole table, whole pot. 159 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,080 Book the whole table. 160 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,080 Book the whole pot. 161 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,080 It's cheap enough for you can just book the whole pot. 162 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:57,280 And then you can stretch out and have a good time and won't get a peep show like we did. 163 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,680 And then also we did something we've never done before in a foreign country. 164 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:03,160 We rented a car. 165 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,560 We drove around Southern Spain. 166 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:10,440 That was an adventure in itself. 167 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,440 Oh, yeah. 168 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,960 So there are some things that you must do prior to renting a car or driving a car in 169 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:23,280 a foreign country that we found out was you have to have an international driver's license. 170 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,560 Yes, you do. 171 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:26,560 You get. 172 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,960 OK, so basically an international driver's license. 173 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,280 It's not a separate driver's license like I originally thought. 174 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,680 Yeah, I thought we were going to take a new driving test. 175 00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:35,680 Yeah. 176 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:44,560 But that it's basically a booklet that translates the information that is on your driver's license. 177 00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:47,440 So you get this book. 178 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,280 It looks like a passport book and it just has different languages in it. 179 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, I think Korean, Japanese, Russian. 180 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,480 All of this is Spanish. 181 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,920 It's in this book that just translate information on your driver's license. 182 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,480 So, you know, if you happen to get pulled over, you just hand them that book and your 183 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,480 driver's license. 184 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,160 So you've got to have a valid driver's license. 185 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,160 Yes. 186 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,600 Please don't get locked up in a foreign country. 187 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:16,600 Don't do it. 188 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,600 Nope. 189 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,880 So you've got to have both in order to drive a car there. 190 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,240 And I had to show the international passport when I picked up my rental. 191 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,240 International driver's license. 192 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,240 Driver's license. 193 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,240 Sorry. 194 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,240 You're right. 195 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,520 I picked up my rental. 196 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,520 Yep. 197 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,520 And then also... 198 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,360 And you can get that at AAA. 199 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,360 Any AAA store. 200 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,360 Go on in. 201 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,040 They'll take your picture. 202 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,040 You'll pay your money. 203 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,040 I think it was what, $30? 204 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,080 I want to say it was around $20. 205 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,480 In between $20 and $30. 206 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,480 Yeah. 207 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,480 Somewhere in that ballpark. 208 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,640 And if you don't have a AAA location near you, just Google it. 209 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:03,280 Find out the options you have in your area, but we had AAA here and we got ours. 210 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,600 Your AAA. 211 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:11,840 And also while you're in AAA, it's a good idea to go ahead and get your money transferred 212 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,840 over. 213 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,840 So we knew that we were going to Spain and we needed your rose. 214 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,480 So we went on in and ordered. 215 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,480 They call it ordering your foreign exchange money. 216 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,920 And so we placed our order and they told us in two days, come back, pay them the money 217 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,000 and then they'll give us the exchange. 218 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,760 But the thing that we didn't realize is when we went in, the exchange rate was one price 219 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,440 and I thought it was locked in. 220 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,440 A whole no. 221 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,760 It's not. 222 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:49,760 Because when we returned in our two days, the exchange rate changed again in favor of 223 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,040 Spain. 224 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,120 So the money that I thought we were getting back was lower. 225 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,480 So to keep that in mind, the exchange rate is constantly changing. 226 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:07,120 And then also for AAA, there is $1,000 is the minimum without additional fees. 227 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,120 Additional fees. 228 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:14,400 So I was petty and I said, Hey, let's just transfer $1,001, you know, and hey, and that 229 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,920 qualified that that made us. 230 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:18,920 We were exempt from the fee. 231 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,720 But you know, my husband, no, we need more money than that. 232 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,720 So hey. 233 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,720 Yeah. 234 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,720 Yeah. 235 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,720 And we converted more cash. 236 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:35,520 So whenever you're traveling, I recommend that you have $100 a day in their currency, 237 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,720 wherever you're going to be, $100 per day should be your minimum when you're trying 238 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,560 to figure out how much money, how much cash to have on hand, $100 per day. 239 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:47,960 That doesn't mean spend $100 per day. 240 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,840 But that should be your budget. 241 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,840 Yeah. 242 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,340 That's that's your budget. 243 00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:57,560 And then speaking of the exchange rates, you can also go to your bank or credit union 244 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:02,400 to transfer, convert those dollars to euros. 245 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,160 And usually they'll have a cheaper exchange rate than waiting to go to the airport or 246 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,800 when you land in that foreign country. 247 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:15,960 So if we were to convert our funds, when we got to Spain, that exchange rate is going 248 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,680 to be higher here, higher there than it would be in the States, especially at the airport. 249 00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:26,560 So you can save a couple of coins by doing it in advance versus waiting to get to Spain, 250 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:28,720 get to France or wherever and convert that money. 251 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,120 So I would suggest doing it here in the States before you leave. 252 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,880 And then also with your credit debit card. 253 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:41,400 So most credit cards, there is no international fee. 254 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,160 So but your debit card, there is. 255 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,160 So if you swipe your debit card, there is a international fee for that transaction. 256 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,920 So a lot of people use their credit cards instead of their debit cards because that 257 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,320 international fee is not fair. 258 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,800 Now my call out will be call your credit card company and call your debit, your bank, let 259 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,120 the knowledge going out the country. 260 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:09,720 Because if you don't, you go to Spain, you go to Portugal and you swipe the card, it'll 261 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,720 block it. 262 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,720 Yeah. 263 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:17,240 So sometimes the bank will freeze your card and then you'll have to call them because 264 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,200 they'll think someone has stolen your card. 265 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,040 It's a fraudulent transaction. 266 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,880 So you don't want to run into that, especially when you're at an foreign country. 267 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,880 Yeah. 268 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,080 That'll be a problem. 269 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:34,240 So in addition to prepping for your international trip, you're going to want to figure out what 270 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,000 you're going to do about your cell phone. 271 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,240 Cell phone uses internationally. 272 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,520 So we recommend downloading the WhatsApp. 273 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:50,080 For WhatsApp, it's an app that allows you to call, text free as long as you're on Wi-Fi. 274 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:57,080 But if you don't want to limit yourself to just that, most cell phone plans allow you 275 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,400 to use your phone internationally, but for $10 a day. 276 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,400 24-hour period. 277 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,440 For 24-hour periods. 278 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,440 And you don't get notices. 279 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,080 For us, there was no notice. 280 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,440 It was just, this is how I read my text. 281 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,080 Got you. 282 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,240 We got another day, 24-hour. 283 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,960 The notice came five hours after we used it. 284 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:16,960 Like what? 285 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:17,960 If we didn't use it. 286 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,560 Literally because like my child takes me, like Aliana, my daughter, oldest daughter takes 287 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,720 me and then, uh-uh, you have triggered your... 288 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,080 It has been triggered. 289 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,280 We got you $10 more today. 290 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,280 Uh-huh. 291 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,360 That's the way that I read that text. 292 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,280 Yeah, we used the heck out of WhatsApp, jump on Wi-Fi. 293 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,440 It's crazy. 294 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,640 Some of those towns, some of those cities that we were in, the city has Wi-Fi. 295 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,360 So you can be walking down the street and boom, Madrid's Wi-Fi pops up. 296 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,360 You can jump on your WhatsApp, make a call, text, whatever. 297 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,520 I thought that was cool. 298 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,280 And then all the places that we visited, most of them had Wi-Fi. 299 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,400 You can just jump on and boom, you're on your WhatsApp. 300 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,400 You can make a call. 301 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,740 You can make a text. 302 00:16:02,740 --> 00:16:04,320 We love the WhatsApp. 303 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,360 And ironically, I was watching other people's phones, the people there use the WhatsApp. 304 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,680 Yes. 305 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,680 All the time. 306 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:18,680 Yeah, we find that people overseas tend to use WhatsApp way more than they do here in 307 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,680 the States. 308 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,080 A lot of our friends are like, what's a WhatsApp? 309 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,080 Yeah. 310 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,080 We're like, huh? 311 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,880 Yeah, I told, I don't know, it was Jasmine or Taylor, whoever, I said, hey, download the 312 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,880 WhatsApp. 313 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,880 Like, what the WhatsApp? 314 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,880 I'm not going to speak to you all about the country because I'm not going to use my 10 315 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:33,880 bucks a day. 316 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:34,880 No. 317 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,880 Jasmine and Taylor are our middle daughters. 318 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,880 Yes. 319 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,600 Sorry, sorry. 320 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:47,600 But then from there, we're still in the planning stage and we look up our hotels or hostels. 321 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,480 Hey, okay, a hostel. 322 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,480 Let's explain it. 323 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,880 A hostel, we like to think of, that's where the college kids stay, right? 324 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,760 A hostel is a dorm. 325 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,320 It's a lot like, but you know what? 326 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,040 Turn your nose up at a hostel because we actually stayed in a hostel in Guatemala and it was 327 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,040 really nice. 328 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,040 It was nice. 329 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,640 It was real nice and that's another episode, by the way. 330 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,520 We'll talk more about that later. 331 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:16,280 So we didn't do a hostel on this trip because in a hostel, you normally get, you're a room 332 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,560 with a lot of beds that you share with strangers. 333 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,280 You may have a restroom in your room. 334 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,280 You may not. 335 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,040 It might be a community bathroom down the hall. 336 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,440 Community bathroom, community shower. 337 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,440 Yeah, community, community germs, community. 338 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,440 Community, everything. 339 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,320 You might get an eye feel of something you don't want to see. 340 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,160 You name it, you get it. 341 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:42,320 But you know, my experience, I've stayed in a hostel twice, once with my family and 342 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:49,320 once when I traveled of solo to Peru and both hostels were nice. 343 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,160 I have to admit. 344 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,480 And I was looking online. 345 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,840 They've upgraded some of these hostels too. 346 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,640 They're like real nice. 347 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,280 Like boutique style hostels. 348 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,280 Yes. 349 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,200 And I want to stay in one, but I don't know if we could have done it. 350 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,960 No, our oldest tried to get us to stay in a hostel a couple of weeks ago in Ottawa, Canada 351 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,800 that was in a prison, a converted prison. 352 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:11,800 It was nice. 353 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,040 I looked at the pictures and I was like, ooh, girl, we don't want that juju. 354 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,040 Yeah, I can have that one. 355 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,040 I'm not doing that. 356 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,200 But it was so pretty. 357 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,840 Come back with something on my spirit. 358 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,680 No, no, no, no, no. 359 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,840 But back to the hotel. 360 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:27,000 So one thing we noticed in Spain, they are very strict on their hotel occupancy. 361 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,800 So if your room says there should only be two people in the room, they mean it. 362 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:38,160 If you show up with three, they can deny you access to that room or they can ask you to 363 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,960 leave if you've already moved, you know, went into the room. 364 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,920 Or make you buy another room. 365 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,920 Yes. 366 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,720 And they will make you buy another room or you have to just leave. 367 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,720 Yeah. 368 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,720 Yeah. 369 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,520 I am overfaced with that, Mr. Dairy. 370 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,840 I was trying to save a dollar. 371 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:54,840 No, no, no, no, no, no. 372 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,240 I wasn't trying to save a dollar. 373 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,520 This is how I always book my rooms. 374 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:03,440 I just, if it's going to be me and you and London Rose, hey, get the double queens. 375 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,440 And just one person. 376 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,640 I never do multiple people when I book my room. 377 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,680 I just book the room. 378 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:10,680 And it almost cost me. 379 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:16,000 I almost got a butt in my butt because on the app it did say, hey, you can only have 380 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000 two people in this room. 381 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,520 Okay, whatever, and the guy when we checked in, he was like, how many people with you? 382 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,520 I said, just us. 383 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,240 They're like, us? 384 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,240 I was like three. 385 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,120 Am I too close? 386 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,120 Okay. 387 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:34,600 So, so he thought we had four people at first. 388 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,600 There's four people. 389 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,120 I know it's just us three. 390 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:40,680 But because I checked in on my app, I use my Hilton app. 391 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,720 I believe that's why he let us slide. 392 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,720 Yeah. 393 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,000 Otherwise he was prepared to kick us out. 394 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,720 Yeah, we were going to get the boot. 395 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,600 But the hotel was nice. 396 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,360 I use my Hilton points to pay for it. 397 00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:58,720 I believe that room, those two nights was like $99. 398 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,560 So we really got a deal. 399 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,960 If I wouldn't have to pay cash, a hundred bucks a night for that hotel. 400 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,960 Well worth it. 401 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:06,960 Yes. 402 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,440 And even though we were in Madrid at that time for one night, I insist that Derek pay 403 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,520 for the two nights, which he's still rolling his eyes about right now. 404 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:16,520 Yes. 405 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,480 Well, because we have been traveling. 406 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,120 Our flight landed in Madrid at 7am. 407 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:26,160 Now mind you, our travel started the day before. 408 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,880 So which means check in is three, four o'clock. 409 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:36,200 So had we landed and had to wait to three or four o'clock, that would have been a miserable 410 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,680 day for us. 411 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:44,320 So I insisted that Derek purchased this night before so that our room would be available 412 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,360 for us when, you know, from when we land. 413 00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:47,360 Right. 414 00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:48,360 And we can go straight to the room. 415 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:49,360 Great idea. 416 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:50,360 It was an amazing idea. 417 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:51,360 Great idea. 418 00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:53,960 I think I lost about 40,000 Hilton points. 419 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,280 That's okay. 420 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,280 You needed that. 421 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,600 It was nice to be able to take a bath, freshen up, or in our case, drop them back. 422 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,360 Drop them back to hit the streets. 423 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:04,360 That's what we do. 424 00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:05,860 Oh my goodness. 425 00:21:05,860 --> 00:21:08,960 We hit the ground running. 426 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,360 But that's pretty much the planning phase for us. 427 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:17,200 I would suggest if you're going to travel, you should really plan all this stuff out. 428 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,240 It'll make your trip much smoother in my opinion. 429 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,160 There will be some hiccups on the way, but if it's planned out, I think it'll make it 430 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,160 much easier. 431 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,640 I want to add one thing. 432 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:35,640 So when you're thinking of a place to go to, I usually let the flights dictate when we 433 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,640 travel. 434 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:43,120 So I have a place in mind, and then I just start searching my apps for the cheap flights, 435 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:47,400 and then I'll try to lock in that date when I see a price that I like. 436 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:54,040 Now in this case, for us going to Spain in April, the date dictated our travel because 437 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,320 Laferia, which is the reason why we went this time, was happening in this specific amount 438 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,920 of time, and we had to travel during that window. 439 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,160 So just to put that out there. 440 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:11,200 She always wanted to plan a trip to Montreal in December because the flights were cheap. 441 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,760 There's a reason why they're cheap, maybe they're nine feet of snow. 442 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:20,640 You know up ten on the truth. 443 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,640 I know it's Iceland. 444 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,160 I'm trying to go to Reykjavik. 445 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,840 I want to go to Reykjavik tomorrow. 446 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,840 In the dead of winter, she wants to go to the Iceland. 447 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,040 I want to go in the winter because of Northern Lights, and I want to stay in one of those 448 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,760 glass houses and look at the Northern Lights as I sleep. 449 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:40,040 Then I want to go now because we'll get to that. 450 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,680 We'll get to Iceland. 451 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,760 Let's get to Madrid. 452 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,600 So my wife, the planner, we had everything planned out for our day in Madrid. 453 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,880 We finally arrived on April 14th, which is a Sunday. 454 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,880 One thing that annoyed me the moment we got there was all the passport checks. 455 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:10,160 I don't recall the last time I went to Spain and being harassed for my passport as many 456 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,880 times as I was on this visit. 457 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:13,880 Harassed? 458 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,200 Baby, every corner of somebody wanted my passport. 459 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,160 I think they checked my passport to get on the escalator. 460 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,160 Did they not? 461 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,160 Grief. 462 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:29,280 Well, typically when we travel international, we're used to getting our passport checked 463 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,840 once, maybe twice. 464 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,960 But in Madrid, it was four times easy. 465 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,040 I don't know why I need to see it four times, but it was four times. 466 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,760 So keep that in mind. 467 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,520 Just have your passport out, ready to go. 468 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,520 Yeah. 469 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,520 Keep it in your hand. 470 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:50,320 Don't put it up because I guarantee you're going to need it. 471 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,680 Five steps from the last checkpoint. 472 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,200 You're going to need it again. 473 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,680 Make sure I know Madrid. 474 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,680 Okay. 475 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:04,320 There are some countries that don't stamp, they don't do stamps, passport stamps, but 476 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:09,480 Madrid, Spain is one of those countries that still do passport stamps. 477 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:16,000 So make sure you get your passport stamped on the way in because Derek, for some reason, 478 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,240 did not get his passport stamped on the way in. 479 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,320 And he almost got detained on the way out from Spain. 480 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,560 They were not going to let him on that plane. 481 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,720 The lady said, you don't have a stamp, how did you get here? 482 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,200 Yes, how did you get in? 483 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,480 I'm like, with them? 484 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,840 And I'm looking like, what? 485 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,920 And I was prepared, like, look, you got to go check the tape. 486 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,200 You go have to go back and rewind that VCR because I came in with them. 487 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,680 So your man didn't stamp my passport. 488 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,680 That's not me. 489 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,120 So just keep that in mind. 490 00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:52,120 Madrid stamps. 491 00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:55,720 Or you can just, when you get to a foreign country, just, hey, do you stamp? 492 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,040 Yes, because we got our feelings heard in Canada. 493 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,280 We got our feelings heard in Jamaica. 494 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,280 They don't stamp. 495 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,280 They don't stamp. 496 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,280 It's crazy. 497 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,960 Well, I take that back. 498 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,520 Some of the booths did stamp, ours did not and refused to. 499 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,240 Yeah, he did. 500 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,280 So in Aruba, and he did say no money. 501 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,560 In Aruba, the guy let me stamp it. 502 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,040 He gave me the stamp because I'm like, oh, OK, well, thank you. 503 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,360 He said, no, we don't stamp, but you can. 504 00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:27,360 I was like, OK. 505 00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:28,360 Sweet. 506 00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:29,360 Thank you. 507 00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:30,840 So keep that in mind. 508 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,160 So we land, we go through all the passport checks and we finally get to the hotel and 509 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,200 this is where the rubber meets the road. 510 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,960 My wife has the day planned by the second. 511 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:41,960 Sure do. 512 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,800 So we get to the hotel. 513 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,640 We throw our bags in the room. 514 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,640 And first stop is the museum. 515 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,640 Rena Sophia. 516 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:51,640 What? 517 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,640 Raina Sophia. 518 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,640 Raina Sophia. 519 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,640 Muceo. 520 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:55,640 Muceo. 521 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,640 Raina Sophia. 522 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,640 Yes. 523 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,640 Muceo. 524 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:05,240 But let's tell you about Raina Sophia and how the hotel almost got a hundred aeros out 525 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,240 of us. 526 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,240 They were going to scam us. 527 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,240 Euros. 528 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,440 They were going to scam us back. 529 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,880 Yeah, we went down there asking them just basically how to get to the museum. 530 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,880 Should we take the metros? 531 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,880 Should we take the Uber? 532 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:18,880 Yeah, just questions. 533 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,880 And it was like, hey, do you have tickets? 534 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,320 And we're like, no, we're just going to get them at the door. 535 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,000 We can get your tickets here. 536 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,200 We can hook you up here. 537 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,240 And I was like, OK, cuanta cuasta, how much, right? 538 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,040 And he was like, oh, for the three of you? 539 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,040 Like yeah. 540 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,880 Because we had our youngest London Rose with us. 541 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,040 He was like, oh, seeing aeros, 100 euros. 542 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,040 And I was like, oh. 543 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,040 Red Flag Storgo. 544 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:45,840 So I started having weird feelings because you know I planned this trip to it. 545 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,080 So you know I don't look at the rates. 546 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,800 I was like, I'm trying to do math on my fingers. 547 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,720 Like, wait a minute, divide about three. 548 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,240 That's like 33 points. 549 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,520 You have me do it too. 550 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,760 So I knew the prices. 551 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,880 You know, I'm a penny pitcher. 552 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,440 So Derek looked at me. 553 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,280 He's like, well, let me go back upstairs and get the cash. 554 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,480 Because you know. 555 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,480 I forgot it upstairs. 556 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,480 Yeah. 557 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:08,480 Yeah. 558 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,480 And he went up there and I guess he did some thinking and he calls me from the room. 559 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,480 My collar don't get them ticked. 560 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,280 Mike goes to see how it was going to hurt. 561 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,160 They feel as they try to get over this. 562 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,160 Don't get them tickets. 563 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,080 I'm standing there like, what do you want me to do? 564 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,080 And don't buy them tickets. 565 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,080 Don't buy them tickets. 566 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,320 They so we told them no tickets, but do get us a car. 567 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:36,600 So we waited for our car to show up and we get to this this museum and let me tell y'all. 568 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,560 Would y'all like to know how much our tickets cost to that museum? 569 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,920 I would like to know how much. 570 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,720 Why don't you tell them Derek? 571 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:43,720 $3.99. 572 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:44,720 It was free. 573 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,720 Free. 574 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,720 $3.99. 575 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,480 The museum tickets were free y'all. 576 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,160 So this hotel is about to get a hundred euros out of us. 577 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,400 And they was about to kick it. 578 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,400 They were. 579 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,400 When they got out of work, they were going somewhere. 580 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,400 They were about to make it rain. 581 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,400 They were going to do some with the money. 582 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,520 I don't know what they do in Spain. 583 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,120 And the museum tickets were free. 584 00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:10,600 So one thing about Spain, you got to look like really, really pay attention to their 585 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:19,400 websites because they, they, all the museums have a free day or free time. 586 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,960 So that particular museum was free from. 587 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,960 12.30 to 2.30. 588 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:25,960 Yeah. 589 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,000 12.30 to 2.30 was a Sunday. 590 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,040 And we showed up about one o'clock. 591 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,560 Now granted, the line was snaking all the way around that place. 592 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:40,560 But that free 99 and being at that time, that was our only day in Madrid. 593 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,560 And we stood there. 594 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,560 Yeah. 595 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:43,560 The line out. 596 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,080 We was in line about a good 45 minutes. 597 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:51,560 Now the, the great thing about that museum, the last two hours of every day is free. 598 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,680 So let's say Monday, seven to nine is free. 599 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,320 The last two hours of the day that it's open. 600 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,840 And then you also want to check their website because they have holidays. 601 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,120 So their holidays, of course, are different than our holidays. 602 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,000 We Americans assume that everyone is on our holiday schedule. 603 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000 That's not true. 604 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,240 So just be mindful of that. 605 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,960 You know, you may be there doing a time of a holiday and it's close. 606 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,480 So I always check their website and make sure. 607 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:26,800 But to get back to the scam artists, even if we arrived earlier, tickets are only 12 608 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,960 euros, 12 euros. 609 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,560 Now they have other options. 610 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,360 I did my research. 611 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,800 You can do the art walk pass, which is 32 euros. 612 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:43,600 And this gets you access into three different museums, Sophia Prada and the Thiesin Museum. 613 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,800 Thiesin Prado and the, the, the Reina Sofia. 614 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,800 I'll let you handle the Spanish. 615 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:51,800 Okay. 616 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,160 Um, but, but, but think about it, baby. 617 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,160 32 times three. 618 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,600 It's still less than a hundred euros. 619 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,800 They were going to bust our heads. 620 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,800 I'm kind of mad. 621 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:04,800 I should call Hilton. 622 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,800 So you got some scammers down working. 623 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:16,800 But the reason why we chose that particular museum was, um, because I wanted to see Gornica 624 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:29,600 Picasso's large oil painting of his depiction of, um, the bombing of the town. 625 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,200 It's, um, it was quite. 626 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,520 It's a massive. 627 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,200 It's a mural. 628 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,160 It's the size of a mural, but it's actually, it's actually sorry. 629 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,440 Um, oil on canvas. 630 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,960 And it's the only, well, it's not even the only art piece in the room. 631 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,960 It takes up almost that. 632 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,160 I think that entire side of that wing was for Picasso, for Picasso. 633 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,160 Yes. 634 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:02,880 Cause they, cause in that room, it was just a big room on one wall was Gornica and on 635 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:10,200 the other side of the wall was his sketching and of what he was going to draw in Gornica. 636 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:18,680 So and just like if, if you've ever been to the Louvre and you went to go see the Mona 637 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,560 Lisa, you know how crowded it can be around that little bitty piece of art. 638 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,560 So Gornica was no difference. 639 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,560 Very crowded. 640 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,760 Um, personal space is not a thing. 641 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,720 Not a thing. 642 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,720 People will step on you, push you, spray, spray you with it. 643 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,720 They will jostle you to get spray you with their stink. 644 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:40,720 To get what? 645 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,720 You know, the stinky guy. 646 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,720 Uh, yes. 647 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,240 Um, so yeah, be ready to fight for your personal space. 648 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,080 If you want to take a picture of the artwork in that museum. 649 00:31:54,080 --> 00:32:00,440 Or you can wait and run in like maybe 30, 40 minutes before it closes. 650 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,440 Yeah. 651 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,440 That's a good idea. 652 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,440 Yeah. 653 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,720 I wanted to kind of hang around and wait for it to thin out. 654 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,720 Derek was not having it. 655 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,080 Now, I think about we should have done that. 656 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,960 We should have came back, came back near the end. 657 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:14,960 Yeah. 658 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,680 Probably could have had the entire museum to ourselves because then the rest of the 659 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,000 museum was crowded as well. 660 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000 Yes. 661 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,920 So not as crowded as Gornica though. 662 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:23,920 Yeah. 663 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:24,920 Yeah. 664 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,120 So from there we made our walk. 665 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,120 So we walked to this next location. 666 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,000 Um, I'll let you handle this. 667 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,000 Yes. 668 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,880 We decided to walk, you know, Madrid is a very walkable city. 669 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:37,880 Yes. 670 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,560 A very easily walkable city. 671 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,280 And on our way we went to go see the Palacio de Cibeles. 672 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,200 We want to go to the viewpoint. 673 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:52,640 And on your way from Reina Sofia, you and you will pass the Prado. 674 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,440 I know you've heard of the Prado, the famous art museum there. 675 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,480 Because I guess that's the art district. 676 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,720 So all the museums are in that. 677 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,720 Yes. 678 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,000 Pretty much in that area. 679 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:12,000 So in Cibeles, if you want to go see Madrid from one of its highest points, you can pay 680 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,080 three euros to go up and see Madrid from. 681 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:23,280 You get a 360 view of Madrid from the Spanish point. 682 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,280 Yep. 683 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,400 And it's suggested, if you go to their website, it's suggested that. 684 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:32,440 You take the stairs, there are 88 of them and we took them. 685 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:38,480 So this gives you an opportunity to see the amazing architecture and the uniqueness of 686 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,480 the building. 687 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,480 It's awesome building. 688 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,960 It's amazing it's been around for that long and it's still in great shape. 689 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,520 I'm sure they maintain it. 690 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,800 But just you think about, they didn't have the equipment we have now and they built something 691 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,800 like that. 692 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:54,800 I think that is amazing. 693 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,160 I don't think you told us when it was built. 694 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,960 I didn't see a date on the day it was built. 695 00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:02,640 I'm sure it was 1700 somewhere. 696 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:08,520 Well, yes, a lot of the buildings in Madrid or in Europe in general are really old. 697 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,680 Who's going to think about it? 698 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:16,920 The United States is a really young country compared to the rest of the world. 699 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:23,400 We went to some sites that were built in 700 and they're still standing. 700 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,400 Yes. 701 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:34,560 So, yes, I thought that I took a panoramic photograph and have a nice picture of Madrid 702 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,800 from this vantage point. 703 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,800 Then we took a metro ride, right? 704 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,160 I like public transportation. 705 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,160 My wife, not so much. 706 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,160 No. 707 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:53,160 There's only one metro that I don't mind riding and that is the Tube in England. 708 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,440 For some reason, they keep that fairly clean and these other places. 709 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,680 Well, I would say it's like riding in New York subway. 710 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:02,680 Madrid subway. 711 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,640 I thought it was fairly clean. 712 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,880 I like it because I get to see, I get the people watch just like the guy rolling up 713 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:12,880 a cigarette to decide. 714 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:13,880 Right next to me. 715 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:14,880 Yes. 716 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:15,880 You don't know what you're going to see. 717 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:16,880 That's the favorite part. 718 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,280 How do you want to whip out paper, get your tobacco, lick it? 719 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:26,120 Mind you, I have London Rose, my 11-year-old sitting right next to me seeing all this and 720 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,560 she's like, what is he doing? 721 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,440 And I just whipped out my phone to make him, like I did it on purpose because I knew I 722 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,440 make him feel uncomfortable. 723 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,440 He's rolling his own cigarette. 724 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:41,680 This man was rolling his own cigarette on the subway and London Rose was like, Mom, 725 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,080 you didn't ask him for his permission to film him. 726 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,240 I looked at her like, I want to tell her, Kaiite so bad, which means shut up. 727 00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:50,760 I was like, girl, be quiet. 728 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,240 I'm trying to make this man uncomfortable. 729 00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:53,240 He'll put this thing away. 730 00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:55,240 Macalah goes, don't you like that? 731 00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:57,240 I didn't tell him. 732 00:35:57,240 --> 00:35:59,240 I said no. 733 00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:01,240 But he came back. 734 00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:02,240 No, no, no. 735 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:03,240 He came back. 736 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:04,240 He said it, no, no, no. 737 00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:05,240 He knew the rules. 738 00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,280 So he wasn't going to light it up. 739 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,320 So Macalah was going to slap it out his hand probably. 740 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,640 Then I would have to beat a guy up on the metro in Madrid. 741 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:15,720 That's why I drew the line. 742 00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:19,120 I was like, uh-uh, I don't watch you roll this thing up. 743 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,640 You can't light it up in here now. 744 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,720 That was funny. 745 00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:26,800 That was my favorite part of being on that metro. 746 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,520 So one thing about the metro, if you're only going to be there for a short amount of time, 747 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,520 I recommend you getting the red card. 748 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,520 Yeah. 749 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:35,680 I want 10 trips. 750 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,960 Yeah, you get 10 trips on that red card. 751 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:44,320 Now, mind you, it's only valid for zone one. 752 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,920 Well, zone one, I'll take that back. 753 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:53,240 Zone A, you have zone A, you have zone B, zone B one, zone B two, zone B three. 754 00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:56,200 So it's only valid in like zone A. 755 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,160 Zone A is pretty big. 756 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,760 It's, I would say, Madrid proper. 757 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,200 So like the urban center of Madrid a little bit out further out. 758 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:11,240 Now if you're in that urban center and I say you're in zone A, you need to get to the airport. 759 00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:16,280 There is an additional fee that you have to purchase onto that car so you can get access 760 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,720 to the airport. 761 00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:23,080 So we found that out the hardware trying to get back to our hotel the last night in Madrid. 762 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,000 So I would download the app, the metro app. 763 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,480 I would also download the metro map so you have it. 764 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,480 Just great idea. 765 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,800 I love the public transportation because it takes you everywhere in Madrid. 766 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,880 Once you get to a certain location, you got to step it out. 767 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:47,640 You got to walk, but it's cheaper than an Uber, even though their Ubers are pretty cheap. 768 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:48,640 I prefer the metro. 769 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,640 You don't look like you do. 770 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:59,720 And then also I would check out the website and they have an option for a tourist ticket. 771 00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:06,160 So the tourist tickets allows you to ride the metro, see the tourist spots. 772 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,960 So just look into those options. 773 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:13,680 If you're going to spend any amount of time in Madrid, that's my suggestion. 774 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:21,600 I know I have an anti-public transportation person sitting in front of me. 775 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:28,440 So we take the metro to, we get off at the opera stop to have churros. 776 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,440 Yes. 777 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:36,160 So if you're ever in Madrid, you're going to want to go get churros at the Chocolatería 778 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,000 de San Gines. 779 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:44,840 Get off there at the opera stop from the metro. 780 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,320 They have fantastic churros. 781 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,200 It is one of the oldest in the country. 782 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,440 It was opened in 1800s. 783 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,440 1884, 94. 784 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,440 Yes. 785 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,400 And they are very good. 786 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:07,040 So you get these long churros and they're going to give you a coffee cup full of chocolate. 787 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,480 So London Rose over here trying to drink the chocolate. 788 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,480 I'm like, no, ma'am. 789 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,480 You know what? 790 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:12,480 I thought you drank the chocolate too. 791 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,480 I just didn't do it. 792 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:14,480 It's a lot of chocolate. 793 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,480 It is pure. 794 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:21,240 Just imagine having like 10 candy bars melted in a cup. 795 00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:23,040 A coffee cup full of chocolate. 796 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,440 Yeah, liquid chocolate. 797 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,200 And I never had churros before. 798 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,720 It was the first time I've had churros and they were delicious. 799 00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:34,720 So from there, you can walk a little ways to make it to the Plaza Mayor. 800 00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:35,720 I'm sorry. 801 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:36,720 Let's go back to the churros. 802 00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:39,000 Think about this. 803 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,440 We ordered, we thought we were going to get individual sticks of churros. 804 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,640 So they said, how many do you want? 805 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,240 Call the quest all right? 806 00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:47,640 I said, those. 807 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,800 We got two orders and two orders of churros like what? 808 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,800 12. 809 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,800 12 sticks. 810 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,440 I was like, we should have just said one. 811 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:56,440 Now we know. 812 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,200 But yeah, those were delicious. 813 00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,440 But go ahead. 814 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:04,640 So we walked to the Plaza Mayor, which is a short walk from Chocolateria. 815 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,680 And in the Plaza Mayor, this is part of the plan. 816 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,480 Oh yeah. 817 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,320 Because you know, Spanish teacher, I teach my students about the Plaza Mayor. 818 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,880 And I've always, you know, I want to go visit a person. 819 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,080 So it is basically a square. 820 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:25,200 It's a large rectangle, in like in the middle of a building. 821 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,840 And inside this building, there are individual buildings. 822 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,400 Like there's the tourist. 823 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,400 Place there. 824 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,400 There are apartments. 825 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,880 There are other stores. 826 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:35,880 And there's shops. 827 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:36,880 And there's shops. 828 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,960 And then there's like vendors inside of the Plaza Mayor. 829 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:44,160 There's a visitor center there as well. 830 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:51,400 And but we chose to just walk through the Plaza Mayor and go out, go out to the other 831 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,560 side to go visit the Mercado San Miguel. 832 00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,360 Derek, would you like to talk about Mercado San Miguel? 833 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,520 Oh. 834 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:06,320 That place is in the food in that place. 835 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,640 Let me tell you, it's fresh. 836 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,000 They have, I don't eat seafood, but they have fresh seafood. 837 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,920 When I say fresh, it just got to the building like an hour before they opened. 838 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,080 There's a whole octopus sitting on ice. 839 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,600 There's an octopus sitting on ice. 840 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:29,800 There is a, what was that, a swordfish head sitting in ice and they were cutting it up. 841 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,400 And people were buying it shrimp. 842 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,160 I think the shrimp was still crawling. 843 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,960 It is fresh seafood. 844 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:42,880 You have about 20 plus shops there that sell pastries, adult beverages. 845 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,680 And we had the churros. 846 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:46,680 We had chorizo. 847 00:41:46,680 -->

00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:25,000 So our chorizo is kind of, it's like a wild sausage in a sauce. 861 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,920 They're like, the ones from that place was the size of like a vina

our guy dressed up the Dragon Ball Z guy. 948 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:13,520 He's on there. 949 00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,920 I was like, Hey, there he is. 950 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,920 He's IG famous. 951 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:18,920 He is. 952 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:19,920 He is. 953 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:26,160 And then from there, I guess we it's time to wrap it up because we have to catch a train 954 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:32,320 the next day and we take our metro back to the hotel. 955 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:38,280 The metro station was about 15 20 minute walk from our hotel. 956 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:39,840 I didn't think it was far. 957 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,880 No, it's good. 958 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:42,880 It's good. 959 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:47,160 Our thing is whenever we land in Madrid, we like to get our steps up. 960 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,160 So we are always clocking to see how how we can get. 961 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:56,600 I think our highest was 30,000 steps in one day in Madrid. 962 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,880 I don't think we made it this time. 963 00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,880 We got close. 964 00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:00,880 We got
