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.

The first day of business has come and gone! We have a really nice young couple from NYC staying with us. I always said that I'd never rest easy until our guests woke up after a night at Somnio. It's 9 am, and I'm still waiting.

They arrived a little before we expected them yesterday, so they were welcomed to Somnio by a power outage and some errant drilling noises. Fortunately, they were really understanding and actually napped through most of the afternoon without a problem.

As for Lee and I, we got the one room and the common areas set up for their arrival but had to set everything else up last night. A few friends popped by to say congrats, so we didn't get a good start until after midnight. I haven't pulled an all-nighter since college, and this one made me feel old. After three hours of sleep, I'm surprised my body let me get out of bed.

6 check-ins today! The fun has begun.
