We Made It!

Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, New York, London and Munich...one of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong....That's right!  PITTSBURGH!  That was not on our agenda.  We flew to New York, but we couldn't land.  They put us in a holding pattern...which reminded me of Die Hard 2...and then we started to run out of fuel, so we had to stop in Pittsburgh for gas.  We finally got to JFK and then missed our plane by 20 minutes because they had stuff parked in front of our plane dock.  After an hour on hold, Mrs. Mayer, decided we need to go back through the main gates to get our new tickets, so we rushed there and with the help of two very nice ladies from America Airlines, we managed to get on an 11:00pm flight to London.

We flew 5 different times 24 hours...I was not liking the landings or the turbulence.  The flight to London was very nice, very little turbulence and they fed us twice.  Michel, our EF tour guide, was right there waiting for us.  He and his driver had us loaded and on our way.  We didn't have much time to do anything as it was 5:30pm local time by then.  We went to dinner and then to our hotel.  Where I now sit typing this and Skyping with my family.  Internet is not free here so I only have one hour to post and talk.

So, this was the beginning of our adventure.  Tomorrow is a tour of Munic and the castle!  I will try to keep you updated as much as possible.
