They opened some new terminal areas at Barcelona airport early this year.
The result was that if you fly Easyjet you're in for a hell of a long
walk and with very poor signposting. Better ensure that this couple can
handle that.
As a city destination (it doesn't have much seaside) Barcelona itself
makes a lot of sense for an elderly couple, as its public transport
system is very easy to use.

Hey Jim, I'm joining the movement. Is there an application or fee or
something?
(I included this in my webpage)
My latest name, "His Highness the TibetanMonkey, Creator of the
Movement of Tantra-Hammock," means SLOW as in Tantra and bicycle, and
LAID BACK as in hammock, to save energy. It may imply a REFORESTATION
CAMPAIGN to hang the hammock.

Thank you. It all makes sense to me.
But we are also overlooking the different capacity of one human being
to consume 20 times what other does. The main problem as I see it is
selling the American model for the world. What are the SUVs doing in
the Third World?
Why can't we copy Holland instead?
