The Mediterranean trip started with an Omen. We both got Covid 2 weeks before we left. Then after boarding the plane in SFO, we sat on the tarmac for 4 hours before they finally gave up and told us to go get our baggage. Without any information about when our flight would be rescheduled, we re-booked a separate one-way to Barcelona. We finally arrived in Barcelona about 14 hours late.
We stayed in Barcelona twice, once at the start of the trip for 3 days (which became 2 days) and then at the end of the trip again for 4 days.

The red cities aren’t counted because they are too small or we had visited them before. So we visited 8 cities on this trip bringing my city “debt” from 14 to 6 cities!
