Decisions are progress...right?

We've made a decision! A decision that has filled us with excitement and made the preparation for moving a little less dreadful. We have decided that we must visit Spain for a month-long vacation before settling down in Maine. Granted, Remy then wants our band to tour and THEN we'll settle down but the tour is still up for debate, in my opinion.

He is right, buying land on which to build and then building anything will take a great deal of time and it will only hurt us in the long run if we try to rush it. So, we will put all of our things in storage in Maine and set sail for Europe this Autumn. Perhaps we'll be able to fit a show or three in there while we're checking out our future home. Then we'll return revitalized and refreshed and eventually work out the rest.

I have to say that I like that idea. And a vacation would do us good. It would be almost like a honeymoon, the one we never had, and would help us know if Spain really is the place we want to live.

Is it possible to learn enough Spanish to get around in a foreign country in 6 months?
