It has officially been one of the longest days/nights of our college career…jk we pulled an all nghter at least once a week last year, BUT it has been a little different than our average all nighter. Instead of getting to run to get Diet Coke and coffee, we had to wave down our attendant and get water so I feet didn’t swell too much. It’s probably a good thing that we weren’t allowed to take our shoes off on the plane (dance and track through high school really ruined that for us).
As a whole our trip went really smoothly and we are beyond grateful for that. We both started off by overpacking by a few pounds. The funny part of that is that the guy literally said “why don’t you just take out a couple pounds”….uhh…and magically teleport it to my house in Germany? No thanks man. Of course one of us had to get stopped at security. Yes, it was Alex. She for some reason thought the three ounce rule didn’t apply to her carry on bag. We did the whole mimosa and bloody mary deal in the morning (you can guess who got what) and of course Starbucks before the plane ride. To be honest, the biggest issue we encountered was the fact that Starbucks didn’t accept the 50% off coupon we got. Not cool Starbucks…not cool.
Our day continued in Dallas for a few hours where we enjoyed some burritos and Ben & Jerry’s (great food choices for a 9 hour plane ride if you’re wondering). We were most surprised by not only how big the plane was but how many people were just headed to Germany. This sounds very naïve of us but all we wanted to do was ask what everyone was doing because apparently we thought we were the only people going there (Hello Muncie bubble). We were both pretty fortunate for having open seats next to us on the plane flight. Yes, that means we were not next to each other. Shock and awe we know. (Okay maybe for a few hours to watch Friends and the Beyonce music videos but that's it).
The flight was long but it wasn’t horrid. Having access to movies like Despicable Me 2 and We’re the Millers definitely made time fly a little faster. We made it safe and sound to the ever so large Frankfurt International Airport and took a shuttle to our humble abode. Alex and I will be sharing a room/floor (the second to be exact) and surprisingly we're already more unpacked than we were in Muncie. Updates will come soon enough on our house (look for a video from Alex!). We are alive and well friends. Happy Sunday from your favorite world travelers!
