En-route to Spain: Jenkintown -> Philly -> Newark -> Philly -> Barcelona. Exhausting!

I met Aleks in Philly July 17, and the next day we caught a flight together to Barcelona. Searching for cheap flights, we found a ticket to Barcelona on US Airways with the catch being you had to fly from Newark to Philly to Barcelona. Being the brilliant MBAs that we are, we figured we could just hop on at Philly - no problemo, right? Apparently, that´s not how it works, or so all our friends said.

So, rather than risk losing our seats on the PHL to BCN leg, we ended up playing it safe and getting up at the butt crack of dawn to take the train to Jenkintown to Center City to Trenton to Newark International Airport, to catch our 11:20 am flight to PHL, arriving at 12:30 pm in PHL. And then we waited...until 6pm when our flight from PHL departed for Barcelona. Yup, that´s right, we had a six hour layover in Philly. How crazy is that???

And that´s how our adventure began. Let the craziness begin!
