Travel from Trier - 30 April 2006

I left Trier on Sunday night and took a train to the Frankfurt airport. Unfortunately I arrived at 2am, 5 hours before my flight. So I slept on the floor for a bit. I went to check in at 5am only to find out that our flight to Milan had been canceled, great start! But, just as Pappy strolled up to the counter, they gave us a direct flight on Lufstansa to Kiev, so that was really good. The funny thing was that we ended up on Ben's exact flight. So when he came to the gate and saw us, he was very confused, cause we were supposed to connect in Milan. But we just played it off like it was the plan all along. We were also hoping for the flight we should have been on (Milan to Kiev) would be in a firery crash, so we could feel like the lucky people. But, they all survived.

But the really crazy thing about this flight was that...It was virtually Americans only!! Over a hundred people from Frankfurt to Kiev! It was 2 groups. One was a senior citizen tour group going east for a river tour into Moscow (Very cool). But, no offense, I've never seen a line like that for the bathroom on the air plane before. The other group was abunch of college kids on a missionary trip. Random...
