3 legs of a trip – Reno to Denver (2 hours) to DC (2:45) to Frankfurt (7:30). The trip to Frankfurt was uneventful – I ended up in Economy plus on an aisle, with not one (1) but two (2) empty seats next to me. The Plus part of Economy Plus = about 7 more inches of foot/leg/knee room, which just might be the greatest thing ever on a long flight.
I ended up sleeping about 5 hours, though not consecutively, as I was woken up multiple times by someone in the vicinity who was passing gas like it was a sport, & they were the Olympic champion. Truly, whoever this was could give Brother, in travel mode, a run for his money.
Alex picked me up at the airport, & we dropped off my huge bag at his & Linda’s home. It was there that I met Jonathan, their 7 month old huge puppy – I thought he was going to eat me, but instead he just licked me & has taken to removing my socks from my room on occasion.
Alex, Jonathan & I went to a Vietnamese restaurant where I ate spicy duck (psych! on the spicy part – it was white bread spicy, meaning not at all,) then we went for a walk around Kurfuerstenplaetz & Leipziger Strasse – got home a minute ago to find that Alex has wi-fi. So, the good news is I have email access 1 or 2x a day.
I’m jet lagging, but good – & it’s taking all of my spidey-sense to stay awake. Pray for me; I’ll check in soon.
yay. I”m glad to hear you were able to sleep on the plane. give my love to alex & linda…enjoy their deluxe expresso coffee & coffee making skills
love the bean
i think walking after a long plane ride does wonders
I will accept any challenger on any airplane. Just give me 2 days notice.
And don’t forget about a block of that German cheese that treated you so well!
Good to hear all is well, will be praying for thee.
theBean- thank you for getting on the blog – you made my evening.
theMoses – yes. Yes it does. And we did. It was AWEsome.
murdoc – brother, you are a pro, but whoever this was was at LEAST a worthy rival if you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
Mr. H – exactly. Thanks!
It’s 10 p.m. (or 1 p.m. PST) – I’m headed for sleep… We watched 3 episodes of the Office – Season 3. No commercials. Very nice.
Meetings start at 9:30 a.m. (12:30 in the a.m.) Now, here’s to some good sleep for me.
