Quite The Trip~

We had quite the flight home from our Christmas break.

Cody and I were waiting at the gate on Friday night

to take the direct flight from Denver to Frankfurt.

The flight ended up being cancelled due to engine

problems.  We spent our evening trying to rebook a

flight for the next day to Germany.  We returned 7am,

the next morning Saturday, to catch a 3 1/2 hour flight

to Dulles airport in Washington D.C.  After a 3 hour

layover in Dulles we boarded the plane to Frankfurt.

 We landed at 7am Duestchland time and then hopped

on a long distance, high speed train, to Siegberg where

Jim was waiting to pick us up.  We were in our 

German home before 10am and soon taking naps!

 Here we are ready to pull up and 

deboard the train in Siegberg.

This is a much roomier ride than when we

headed to the U.S. at the beginning of our break!

All this open area was packed with people and

baggage, with no room to spair.  Once back to

Germany we heard that we got the only window

out of Frankfurt for a few days.  Due to weather

problems the Frankfurt airport had been closed the

day before we departed, opened the day we left

for the U.S., then was closed again the next day 

Sunday.  We were blessed, and didn't even

know it until our return back to Germany!
