Soccer Anyone???

If you are wanting to EXPERIENCE the most AMAZING SOCCER and want to see
BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD then you are LUCK!!

FC BARCELONA is playing 
either Sept 1 or 2 
against Valencia   


At Camp Nou



So with this new information we are going to look at tickets and maybe even a suite.
If you are interested let us know.  As soon as the date and time are finalized by La Liga then we will have a better idea of the cost involved.   

Unless you live in a country where Soccer is King there is no way to explain the energy when you enter this stadium.  It is a great opportunity to share in the culture of European Futbol :)  


FORCA BARCA

Here is the Barca Anthem. First in Catalan...

Tot el camp .
és un clam som la gent blau-grana . 
tant se val d´on venim, si del sud o del nord, 
ara estem d´acord, 
estem d´acord una bandera ens agermana: 
blau-grana al vent,
un crit valent, 
tenim un nom, 
el sap tothom: 
Barça! Barça! Baaarça!

Jugadors . 
Seguidors . 
tots units fem força: . 
són molts anys plens d´afanys, . 
són molts gols que hem cridat, . 
i s´ha demostrat, s´ha demostrat, . 
que mai ningú no ens podrà tórcer: . 
Blau-grana al vent, . 
un crit valent, . 
tenim un nom, . 
el sap tothom: . 
Barça! Barça! Baaarça


...And now the English translation...

A clamor rises 
from the pitch
We’re the blue and claret people 
Makes no difference where we hail from
Whether it’s from the south or the north
Now we all agree
we all agree,
One flag unites us in brotherhood
Blue and claret flowing in the wind
One valiant cry
We’ve got a name
that everyone knows: 
Barça! Barça! Baaarça!

Players,
Supporters
United we are strong
So much glory through the years
Oh, the many goals we’ve cheered
And it has been proven, it has been proven 
That no one can break us
Blue and claret flowing in the wind,
One valiant cry
We’ve got a name
that everyone knows:
Barça! Barça! Baaarça

Flights...

I have been watching fare trackers for the dates around our wedding and it seems that the prices have dropped considerably.  So if you are coming or considering coming check out the following sites...

www.delta.com
www.united.com
or others such as www.kayak.com or www.cheapoair.com

So here is my tip for airfare:  If you want to have an enjoyable flight, book 1st class :) However, if you are like me the next best thing is to book on European Airlines.  They don't charge extra for peanuts or beverages.
We usually fly KLM which is part of Delta, they provide you with 3 meals and snacks as well as free beverages, wine, beer and such.

Also a reminder for my heavy luggage friends, they are very strict with weight so be careful.  I had to pay 75 euro on one bag on my 1st trip hence I learned my lesson.  They didn't catch it on my way there but on my way home was when they caught me.  So make sure to look up the weight restrictions for your airlines.

Good Luck and I hope you get a great deal :)
