We’re Going to Spain!

On Tuesday, Scott’s Cheap Flights sent out a deal that highlighted several deals to Europe from my preferred airports: Helsinki, Finland (tempting, tempting); Dublin, Ireland (one of my faves); and Madrid, Spain (Oh, hello!). Madrid was the one that really caught my eye - after all, Spain is still on our must-visit list, and we’ve been itching to go since our Barcelona trip was canceled.

Update: the Last Rodeo in Austin, Texas

When I last talked about planning for my friend Chelsea’s bachelorette party in Austin, Texas, the only thing we really had planned was the location!
