04 August 2012:  Not packed for the trip as yet but have given a lot of thought on what to ultimately cram into the suitcases for our flights on 10 September. The flights were booked clear back in December 2011 to secure the Business Class seats from cashing in miles. Some of you might want to do on-line google searches to view the hotels at which we will stay so I will lay that out for you here. We were moving around so much with the vast majority two (2) night stays that we cancelled the two nights in Cordoba and opted for the 4 nights in Jerez de la Fronteria with the Car No. 1 folks, instead.
