Paul and Abbey Rainey were kind enough to take us to the airport yesterday, and helped transfer the 400 pounds of checked luggage. Although we had six bags, the computer did not charge us, and the supervisor told the passenger agent she didn't have to do so. So, God went before us - each "bag" was less than 70 pounds (one by 1/2 pound). We had a little lunch, then joined the other 2 passengers on our flight (it was a good thing because of all our luggage) and left and arrived early to LA, only to wait for 5 1/2 hours there. Trekked to the international terminal (United is the farthest away), had to go through security again (how many of you can get a month's worth of "liquids" in a quart size Ziplock bag?), and found our way to the gate. There, we waited.
The flight from LA to Munich was uneventful, but we were so grateful that our "miles" required the Business Class seats. We had plenty of room, good food, and we actually slept (sort of). Now we are waiting in the Munich lounge for the last leg - to Tirana. The trip seems kind of like a dream... we've talked about this for so long, prepared, and now we are actually almost there! It's 6 pm here, 9 am at home, so our bodies don't know what to do. It's warm, about 80, and muggy.
But, we are here in one piece, and excited. Thanks to all that have partnered with us. More when we get to Albania.
