Getting to Maui

That was the worse starting of a trip ever!! Just God knows how I did manage to get into the plane...my tears even begun to appear in my eyes. I was so stupid that I completely forgot that to get into the States (if you're Spanish) you need an special visa called ESTA. It just pumped into my head when I was in the motorway. Well, I was not worried 'cos I knew you can get it online and quite fast but the problem came when after trying 3 times the web page was telling me there was a mistake in my birthday date and that getting the visa was not possible!!! WTF!!! That meant I was not getting into the plane!! The problem was that I already had a ESTA from last June but didn't have the number with me, so finally I manage to cancel the old visa and get a new one. All this was "in extremis" as they even close the checking desk some minutes late for me...


Well, at least all bad things bring also good ones, I didn't pay a cent for my luggage!!
So now I'm happily at Maui, in a super cool house with some of the LF crew (Brandon, Craig and Henning). A little bit of surfing just on the spot next door on the first day and visiting Hokipa and Paia. Yesterday we all went to Kite Beach but I didn't had a session as I'm still waiting for my new gear.
Forecast looks amazing for the following days so I'll be updating a few pictures in my fb page!

Packing and ready for Hawaii!!

I just finished packing all the stuff. I always have trouble deciding which clothes I'm taking with me as I never have a lot of room for it. This time I have the feeling I'm taking too much clothes with me but I'm too tired to open the suitcase again and tomorrow I have to get up at 4:20 am!!
Tomorrow's gonna be a long long day, taking off from Barcelona airport at 7:35am, flying to London first, Los Angeles and finally landing in Kahului airport, Maui. I'm a little bit worried about the luggage as I have very short connections.
I'm very excited about this trip as I've never been to Hawaii before and it is one of the places I've always wanted to visit since I was a child! So keep tuned 'cos I'll try to update my blog as often as I can!!
Wish me luck with the bags!!
PS: Guess who is right now sleeping on my boardbag??!! I think my little princess (my cat) wants to come with me!!

Fuerteventura

I just came back from Fuerteventura were I've spent 6 days. My best friend lives there now and I found a 20€ return ticket flight, so what else?! Although it is not the best season of wind we had a couple of windy days. I have my IKO liecence but I never have the opportunity to teach as I am always traveling around compeating, but this time I just took a few hours teaching her and her boyfriend. I think we all had fun and I hope they will be able to join me in the water soon!
Surf is always good when there's no wind and laying on the beach with really nice warm weather too!

Welcome to 2011!!

Yeah, already in 2011!! I have the feeling that time goes faster and faster everyday!! It's been great spending xmas with my family and friends. Actually I didn't have a very good end of year as I was ill in bed for a couple of days.
The last 4 days I've been in the mountains in Osseja (Cerdanya). It was a pitty that there was not a lot of snow yet, so I just chilled. Well actually I went running a couple of days and we were planning to climb the Puigmal but yesterday when we got up was snowing a little bit so we decided not to. I also had a day relaxing in a Spa after running a few kms in the morning. I really enjoyed some "fresh" air!!



Ah, I forgot to tell you! Tomorrow I'm flying to Fuerteventura, 20€ a return ticket from Barcelona!!!!BOOM!!
