Travel Day!
We had such interesting luck with the trains during our time in Leipzig that I was very worried about the trip and catching the plane. So as you can guess, everything went perfectly. The train was on time, the plane was easy to check in and didn’t charge us even though a couple of the bags appeared to a little over. The wait was pleasant. We had a farewell pretzel and got on the plane. The flight was wonderful. I little bit of problems with an obnoxious group that went to Croatia. Other than that it was great. The food on the flight was better than expected. We flew through customs and had no problems, even though we brought a jar of jam from Nathalie’s mother that I forgot we had. The drug sniffing dog at the airport gave Kaila a scare because we thought he might get a hit on her Pringles, but the gods were on our side and Kaila smuggled in 14 chips from Germany. Our ride was there and we were home in record time from the airport. Where was this kind luck when I was chasing trains in Prague? When we got home it was time for some dog-dad time and we sat and told each other what had happened for the last month. The dog stayed about a foot from me the rest of the night. We had such wonderful food for the previous month we had to commemorate our return with a trip to Sonic. Dawn loves the crushed ice there and we were unaware that there seemed to be a hidden law in Europe that ice was against the rules because Dawn couldn’t find any while we were there. The next morning we all were up at about 5:30 or 6. (2 in the afternoon in Germany) I walked to the store, (Why break the trend?) and got rolls, butter, orange juice, and strawberries for breakfast. We had a nice breakfast and then it started again, Dawn was off to a wedding, Kaila was making plans for the day and I am sitting here mumbling to myself as usual.
