Well. If nothing else...this adventure has definitely started! And what an adventure it was just getting to Germany!
Getting to LA was easy.
Then..we arrive in LA and I need to get all 8 bags...NO porter to help!!!! I panicked! Thank god for good people in this world...an entire family helped me get my bags and kids all the way over to the next terminal.
Then...we get there and can't check in. No one for Air New Zealand for another hour. So, the kids sat on the ground and watched a movie...I watched them.
Once up to the ticket counter it took almost a half hour to get everything checked in.
Finally I am rid of all those damn bags....lady thought I was crazy checking THREE excess bags. :P
The Air New Zealand plane was just awesome. Great service and the girls were super comfy...they were perfect and slept for a good 6 hours. Me...not so much. I did watch 5 movies and some TV shows. :)
Had a hell of a walk in the London airport and couldn't get my damn WiFi to work. Girls were pretty pissy by now...and I was seriously lacking sleep and patience. Got on board and off without a hitch though. They enjoyed a short movie on the flight to Frankfurt.
Walked another mile to customs...No worries with customs and girls got their first stamps.
Matt came running to meet us at the baggage claim. The girls were so happy to see daddy!
Boy, you should have seen the stares we got with all those bags!! LOL Took us a good hour and a half to get the hell out of the airport...
Got lost, of course, on the freeways, but actually found the area we needed. (and we had no internet or ipad to use!) Guess thats what happens after you stare at the maps of germany for two weeks straight! :)
Anyway, we're here now...Matt is off getting food and WINE and the girls are WIDE AWAKE. (it's nearly 10pm here) Should make for an interesting day tomorrow.
The apartment is cute and just perfect for the next five days. We can walk out the front door and right to the river.
Can't wait to go exploring together as a whole family once again!
