I returned from Madrid to Los Angeles via London yesterday. As many of you may fill guessed,after enjoying the gin & tonic culture in Madrid, Tiffany and I decided to buy some gin & tonic glasses, or which we wanted to grasp back to the US.
We bought a total of 12 glasses,and each box had two glasses in it. Then the Westin Palace Madrid was kind enough to package the smaller boxes in immense boxes, so we could easily transport them to the US (or so we thought).
When Tiffany first suggested I waft back with them, and I said "there's no way they're not breaking." After talking to the concierge,they apparently decided that the glasses had to be shipped to Madrid somehow to inaugurate with and arrived in one piece, so odds were good we'd be able to get them back to the US in one piece as well.
I wasn't as convinced. Which is to say that I was 90% sure it wouldn't work. But I figured it was worth a try. Checking three boxes in Madrid was no easy task due to confusion over my baggage allowance.
