We bought our new townhouse in March 2020 as a presale, just before the Covid shutdowns.  We cancelled our trip to Italy (the original version of Fibonacci Scribble) and planned a tour of Sicily for 2021 because we'd need to be back to sell our current, no, make that former, townhouse.  Completion of the new place was to be sometime between November 1, 2021, and January 31, 2022.

We sold in June and needed to be out in mid-September.  The summer was spent purging, packing, and finally moving our stuff into storage lockers.  We booked AirBnB accommodation in Penticton for two weeks after moving out and then the month of October in Victoria.  As for November, we didn't want to make any plans.

Then, on the afternoon of the very day we'd completed the paperwork for the sale of our home of 32 years, we got our first update from the developer.  We wouldn't be moving in until the latter part of January.

Our first thought was, where can we go for November?  We had ski passes for two mountains in the Vancouver area, but skiing rarely begins before December.  The only good thing about November is that the rain may (or may not) mean it's snowing on the mountains.

Then it came to us:  Spain!  Of course, Al was thinking Mallorca and I was thinking Andalucía.  It took a couple of weeks, but Al came around to my way of thinking.  Mallorca would be sport riding and it's not much sport for him if he's always waiting for me, nor for me trying to catch up.  Andalusia would be touring, which involves a different mindset altogether.
