Jackpot!

Well, coming to Spain was definitely the right move. One call to Merck's Travel Services later and I got the last ticket on a JFK-bound Delta flight tomorrow morning. I'll be back at my house before dinnertime tomorrow if all goes as planned.

More details to come later, and maybe a "retrospective" on this whole experience with day by day summaries since the actual time from when I started the blog to when I got my ticket home turned out to be quite short.
