we're here....

Well day one on our trip. I won't bore you with the details of everyday, but today was a first for many things.



The day started out with us coming back to our hotel from shopping to see two police cars arriving at the same time. Nothing serious, just a belligerent guy who overslept past check out and (successfully) stole all the towels in the room. Then it was on to the airport, where we found a very nice bulldog named George, who was also taking the flight with us.

We were able to waste 3 hours in the airport playing games, shopping, watching on TV how the German police had just caught a group of terrorists who had plans for the Frankfurt airport..... (don't worry Mom, everything is good now)

Our plane was delayed an hour which was good because just before the boarding call Marks' glasses broke and we had to make a mad dash for the jewelery store to find a tiny screwdriver!! Thank Goodness for duty free shopping!!!

On the plane everything went smoothly... I was worried due to the fact that Mark choose the chinese/curry/japanese combo from the airport for lunch, but if accidently eating the red wax off the babybel cheese didn't bother him, I guess nothing will. The flight was uneventful, but very long. We both didn't sleep very much and were INCREDIBLY tired when we got here.

It took only 7 minutes to break out the German chocolate and 28 minutes for the schnapps!!

Gotta run-we are heading into town to meet friends and pick up dinner!!

Miss and love everyone-talk to you again soon!!

Cara and Mark

Question:

The red wax? Seriously?

Fact:

You are off to a great start! Can't wait for more updates! And, glad to hear you didn't leave an important bag at home... once, there was this family who was going to Disneyland and then Mexico...
