So – 2016 is happening huh? Holy shit do you know what that means?! We are going to have a third Captain America movie.   And a third Star Trek movie. And we just had the latest instalment of Star Wars as a glorious X-mas gift. And what a gift... What a time to be alive. But we've also lost a bevy of awesome people - seriously, was there a statute of limitations that we didn't know about with regards to the coolest music and film icons ever?

So much to see!! So many places to go!

We spent 4 weeks gallivanting around the peninsula and even though I was still mega sick with a borderline hangover style depression, I had an amazeballs time and got to reconnect to my old home and reminisce about childhood and meet with old friends and family. Flying high with Monster Hunter - Achieving G-Rank at 5000 feet! Mind you, the long flights are horrible, thankfully the Emirates long haul flights we took had a great collection of shows to watch like Community, Brooklyn 99 and some old school friends - awwww  yeah! Finally arriving in Barcelona, tired and excited, we met up with two other travel buds who decided the first meal they'd have in Spain was Burger King. WACK! No worries, we were situated in a nice area that let us commute easily aroun...
