Here's my plan for the 30th: arrive Barajas, drop most of my stuff at a locker at Chamart�n and get train ticket early, go into town, find you and the cell phone, give you lots of money and then hang out in town until train time. What's my most convenient plan? I want to have enough energy left to drag myself up those four flights of stairs.


Pack light, sleep cheap, eat well.

Hey Sue, hmmmmmm... I would say that the...

"...give you lots of money"
... is the best part of the plan Big Grin

From Barajas to Chamart�n I would get either an AEROCITY SHUTTLE (if they do that Barajas - Chamart�n trip) or a cab (don't tkae any crap and if he tries to rip ya off, tell him jer is gonna get him Smiler ).

Since the Metro line (#10) is shut down from August 3rd until the beginning of October 2002,
take the FREE bus (denominated "SE" for "Servicio Especial", "Special Service") from the Chamart�n train station to Plaza Castilla. Then get the Metro line #1 (light blue) to Puerta del Sol. Exit the Metro in Sol via the "C/ Mayor" exit and you will come out facing the "Mallorquina Pastry shop" Big Grin (will still be closed for vacation on Aug 30th) Frowner Head down Calle Mayor walking about 10 minutes and you will come to the "Mercado de San Miguel" on your left in a Plaza (Plaza de San Miguel). Turn left and head down the street called Cava de San Miguel, that's my street Cool . Call me on my cell phone (656266844) from Chamart�n and let me know when you are coming, I will give you my exact address then (don't want to give it here due to the huge number of weirdoooooos on the WWW, me being #1 :lo: ).

We can chill here a bit, you can recuperate from the 8th floor walk up Wink while enjoying the view and then we can go get some lunch and bum around until your train.

I shall clear my schedule that entire day for your impending arrival Smiler

Sound like a plan?

Saludos,
