Spain 2009 - Gone so quickly

So, I went to Spain already and it went by so quickly that I didn't get to write about it! It was amazingly fun, but very tiring. I arrived in Madrid and went to Valencia the next day. After a few days in Valencia, I went back to Madrid and set up base. From Madrid, I went to Toledo for a day trip and then Segovia for another day trip. And that was a whole week. @_@

I'll definitely update about my trip more in the coming days, I promise!

39 Days and Counting...

Spain is in 39 days!
I haven't gotten very far in my planning, but I found out that I can take the metro to Toledo! It only takes 35 minutes to get there from Madrid and I can get a 1-day unlimited ride pass for about 10,40 euros. I'm thinking I can spend a few hours in Toledo, then venture to another nearby city and end up back in Madrid for the night. Valencia will take a bus or train ride, which I don't think will be too hard to manage.
I will continue to update as my plans come together. If anyone will be in Spain in early September, we should hang!

Upcoming Adventures

Will be going to Spain Aug.31-Sept. 7. So excited! Especially since roundtrip airfare from Orange County was less than $300! HECK YES.
I'm landing in Madrid and want to visit Toledo and Valencia while there. Any suggestions on other places I should visit? Or advice as to how to get around (trains/buses)? I would very much appreciate any tips anyone has.

Oh, and most importantly, any one down to come with? Currently, I'm going it alone, which I don't mind, but it's always cool to have a travel partner. :D

P.S. I know I suck with the blogging because I just realized I never blogged about Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Amsterdam, OR Prague the last time I was in Europe. Whups, my bad, if any one has any questions regarding those places, feel free to ask!
