Home Again

We got home yesterday after three weeks in the States. It's always a long travel day, but Lufthansa seemed to do everything possible to make it seem longer. The airplane was old and uncomfortable. There was no audio for the movies, and the monitors were green.

Frankfurt was even more chaotic than usual. We knew our flight was connecting from one of the B gates, but they didn't post which one until 45 minutes before the flight was supposed to leave, and since they are divided up into several different security areas, we couldn't even line up for the security check until the last minute. We tried to ask at the transfer desk, but there was only one person working there, so that line hardly moved. Of course the line at security was really long, and not all the scanners were open, so it took 40 minutes to get through. Fortunately SAS held the flight, so we and one other person made it. However, our luggage did not. In fact, we don't even know if our luggage made it to Frankfurt at all. It's really weird coming home and not having anything to unpack or laundry to wash.

I'll continue soon with posts about our vacation.
