We finally make it to Granada this morning. To say we are we are exhausted is an understatement. I don't know how baby managed!
Our first order of business is to find a hotel. The first one we go to is full. We didn't know it but there is a festival in town and so most hotels will be full. However, luck is on our side. We found a hotel, named Anacapari, with a receptionist from the US who found pity on us. She gave us a large room off the lobby for a great rate!
Finally we are able to sleep. I struggle to have a peaceful sleep because I feel like we are wasting our time when we should be out sight seeing.
And that is exactly what we did when we woke up. First I must dig out the sweater I just bought in Valencia. Thank goodness. It is freezing in Granada. We would later see snow capped mountains.
We start our explorations by walking the main plaza of course and then getting on the hop on/off bus.
This evening we spend time getting in touch with our families in what is our first real chance at an internet connection.
We also spend time watching TV in Spanish. It quite fun watching Sex in the City in Spanish.
Travel tip: Be prepared for all types of weather when traveling in the Mediterranean in November
The travel specialists we've worked with for 2 vacations have made the trip planning process easy! They ask good questions to ensure they understand our goals and likes and have done an excellent job matching adventures with our preferences - even suggesting things we would not have thought about on our own!

Jane Packer helped us through the cancellation of our trip due to American Queen Voyages bankruptcy and then finding another cruise with American Cruise Lines.
Jane is very prompt in response, answers any questions, and makes good suggestions thereby making the process much easier!

Adventure Life did an excellent job of planning, organizing and executing a great trip to Argentina. It was nice to have the trip with just the two of us which allowed for a more personable tour with excellent tour guides in all four locations visited. We learned lots of details of the beautiful sites in BA, Mendoza,Baliloche and Iguazu Falls. We want to do another trip with Adventure Life some day.
