Flight Timing
For those doing multi-level lumbar and worried about staying only a week (and flying out five days post-op) and worried about the cost of the extra nights in the hotel, you might want to check your flight options for a few days later than your seven day stay.
It turns out it is actually cheaper for us to stay in Barcelona an extra two days! It's almost $800 more in plane tickets if we fly out after a week, than if we stay for a total of nine days! AND, since we'll only be spending $250/night for the hotel, the choice is obvious!
Just a little tip for those who are traveling!
