Survived the lonnnng flight




Okay, trying to get a post here with all the info in German. Not so easy. We need to find out why our computer thinks it's German now. Oh boy, something else to figure out.

Anyway, here we go...Sorry if this is duplication from pics and info on facebook. Not everyone who will read this is on FB, so bear with me here. And in case ya get bored cuz I am documenting too much, we are trying to do this blog to share our adventure with everyone, as well as to document this for the kids for when they are older and tell us that we never took them anywhere.

I will start with the flying part. Kinda dull. 13 hours of flying, not much to report. Maya slept for about 6-7 hours of it. No tantrums to report. Yessss! Casey was great. Slept, played her video game. Easy cheesey.

We got our car at the Luxembourg airport. Our exchange family parked their cart there and gave us the keys when they arrived at our home. It was great. Then it was about a 20 minute drive to our new home in Trier. On the way we got to experience the infamous Autobahn. Mark realized we were on it and I heard "Okay, HERE WE GO!!" and then he downshifted, and well, let's just say that years of driving a patrol car code 3 helped. Ha! So cool.

We got to the house and we were met by Julia. She is the 20 year old (Julia, Anette, is that correct?) daughter of of the exchange family. She is here, living in a basement apartment, going to school. She has been so great. We are realizing that we are so lucky to have her around (especially when she babysits for us tonight as we go out on a date by ourselves. Yessss!).
