Eddie! I'm so happy to know that you were able to watch the countdown (6pm Eastern USA time) at Puerta del Sol in Madrid on the internet. Did you watch via the Antena 3 link? I was SO VERY HAPPY to watch this. This was the FIRST time in my life I'd ever seen this "live video coverage" over the internet and I was happy to watch it. I was in Madrid last New Years Eve but spent the evening "at home" and did watch the countdown on TV there. I ate grapes then but not this year (last night) as I didn't have any grapes. Grrrr...

Eddie, your fishing vessel experience sounds very very interesting!!! I'm sure it's something you'll always remember. Hope you make it back to Spain soon and that you have fewer and fewer doctor's appointments.

Did anyone else watch live via the internet??

Happy New Year!! Saludos, MadridMan
