Kazan — summer 2012

Just bought some transport tickets for Barcelona:

• The hop-on/hop-off bus — it takes you around the tourist highlights of the city, and you can get on/off as often as you like and stay as long as you like at the various stops. Actually, as long as I get to La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell I'll be happy.
• The Barcelona Card — gives you transport on the RENFRE train to downtown, which is worth the price right there, compared to a taxi, and entry to various museums and discounts at various restaurants.

I'm starting to get excited!

Right after I purchased the tickets, I got a call from the Citibank fraud department. Nice to know they are on their toes. Tomorrow I'll call my banks/cards and let them know my travel plans. Gotta do that so they don't give me problems while I'm away.
