Today is the 5th day that we have been stuck in Gran Canaria, Spain and it is the 11th day we have been gone. Gran Canaria is part of the Canary Islands off of the coast of Morocco. We were supposed to head home on Friday, April 16. When we went to check out of our room the cashier said, "Germany is closed." Since we were on vacation we didn't bother looking at the TV or the news even once so we had no idea what was going on! She called our airline and they said that our airport was open so we headed to the airport and partway there the bus turned around and they drove us back to our hotel. We have been making the most of it, but it would be nice to back where our kitchen is, Abbey's crib is and probably the most important: where our washing machine is!
We are still enjoying the sunshine and the sound of the ocean crashing along the shore, but for now I have a certain "Beach Boys" song running through my mind... and it's not "Kokomo!" Although I would hasten to say that it has been a great trip and is not "the worst trip I've ever been on."
