Hostel Territory

So we've set off to Barcelona to live the dream and open our very own hostel. We're keeping this journal online to keep everyone updated of our progress, adventures and mishaps navigating Barcelona's booming tourism industry, Spanish bureaucracy, and daily life in Catalunya.

All's quiet at Somnio today. We're still trying to get everything cleaned up and back in order from Friday's party. Mom and Dad left yesterday so Lee and I are back to our psychic sisters cleaning rhythm. Surprisingly, it was harder to get everything done with four people working than just the two of us. That said, thanks again to Mom and Dad for spending their vacation helping us out. The party would've been complete chaos without them.

We've got a fairly slow week ahead without too many bookings, but it's feeling a bit like the calm before the storm. April is booking up fast, and the summer mania is in sight. So we're trying to take this time to get re-organized and do some of the things we didn't get time to do before opening (writing all of our walking tours, writing recommendation pages about each major tourist site, creating an in-room book for guests with all of our services and recommendations listed, etc).
