As my 70th birthday approaches, I decided to celebrate with a trip to Barcelona. I mean, what better way to feel young again than to visit a city filled with vibrant energy and stunning architecture?

But as I started planning the trip, I realised that my age might be catching up with me. For starters, I have to make sure I pack enough medication to last me the whole trip.

Of course, I would have loved booking a flamenco dance lesson while I’m in town. I figure if I can still move my hips at 70, I’m doing pretty well. Although, I’m not sure the instructor would appreciate my lack of rhythm.

All in all, I’m excited for my Barcelona adventure, even if it means embracing my inner senior citizen. After all, age is just a number, right? And if all else fails, there’s always siesta time.

Let’s hit the road tomorrow and see what happens.

I was hoping to have a beach day on the dreaded 21st but the expected weather report does not look that brilliant.
