I made it!

 Airport! I am finally here.

 In Frankfurt Airport, Yes there is a McCafe (this is for Patience)  I took this as I ran by... This airport is HUGE and Confusing!  People were riding bikes through the halls of the Airport and I almost wished I had too. It was a very long long way to my next departure gate even with the shuttle ride! It was a very good thing my layover was almost 4 hours here because I needed the time!  In the end I had time to freshen up and wait comfortably for my last flight.  On the way home I am not stopping in Frankfurt and I am glad! If I again go through Frankfurt on my return trip I plan to wear my tennis shoes and sports clothes. My carry on will be much lighter as well.  I couldn't get my carry on out during the LONG flight because we were packed so tightly.  I had several programs and things on my computer downloaded especially for a long boring flight but couldn't use any of it. No electrical plugs in economy either.  The flight was ok though. They kept feeding us and even though it was crowded you could get into the bathroom in a reasonable time. (Short lines).  Mike would have loved it! There was a screen between movies that showed our route and how cold the air was out side. I had the miles we had traveled and the miles we still had to go. It even had our ground speed!  This whole trip would have been SO MUCH more fun with him!

I made it and I am in EE right now.  I get to meet the kids (for the very first time!) tomorrow.  The hotel is nice. Toni (our atty.) is very nice but I already knew that. The kids back home had a blast at Disney on Ice. My e-mail is running slow so I am using SKYPE and face book to communicate with Mike and the kids. Not sure why my e-mail is slow but fb loads right up???
