Spain in 20 days!!!

Less than 3 weeks and I haven't done enough research or prepared myself for my train to Spain. I'm slowly starting to freak out!

Congrats to Japan for winning the World Baseball Classic

Not only was it one of the most energetic and exciting baseball games I can recall in quite some time, it was also the most profitable. A few weeks before the World Baseball Classic starting it's first round, I'd put $100 on Japan winning the whole tournament as their odds were +450. To the nongamblers out there, it's essentially 4.5:1 odds. After a wonderful extra inning match up with Japan winning 5-3, my payout was $550.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I booked my Barcelona flight last Friday so this will no doubt pay for my plane ticket as well as taking care of my cell phone bill and an extra tank of gas. Things are looking up right now!

I'm going to Spain!!!

Barcelona to be specific with an anticipated stop to Madrid for a couple of days. I've never been to another country except for Canada and Mexico so this will be a trip that I'll never forget. On a whim, I purchased tickets yesterday for the periods of May 24th-June 2nd. The best part is that the round trip was $432!!! I'm going alone, hopefully meeting some new people and having the time of my life as the old cliche goes. I'll elaborate more in the coming days. If anyone has any tips, advice, suggestions on international travel or Spain please feel free to let me know.

Oh by the way, I love the NCAA Tournament. It makes me proud to be a gambling degenerate.
