Off to Germany and Italy to see my friends Chris and Philipp.
I didn’t realize that I had to put my phone into the xray machine and I also had to remove my belt.
An older woman ordered an entire pizza for herself and asked if I wanted to share it with her. I just bought a sandwich!
I forgot how long travelling is. Wait in a lineup to board. Make sure you wait to lineup when they call your “zone”. Forgot about that. Everyone is in a rush and with just reason!
I took a few videos for Vero and the kids to show them how it is when the flight takes off.
I arrived in Toronto and there was no issue getting to the next gate. The flight is already delayed by twenty minutes for boarding, but it seem we will arrive in Frankfurt at the same time.
I still have a fear of what will happen when arriving in Frankfurt. Will I miss my connecting flight because of the fingerprints I need to give to enter Europe?
There are already complications forming. Philipp doesn’t have a car (just found out from Chris) so Chris will meet me at my gate and we will head into Hannover on the train. Hopefully I meet up with him at a decent time and the flight isn’t delayed!
I boarded the plane and there are two empty seats next to me and the plane is almost full. Do I have an entire row to myself??
Turns out the answer is no, there was a mom and her daughter that were late due to a connecting flight and they just made it in time!
It’s official. I don’t think I can ever get a good sleep on a plane. When I got onto the plane, I tried to sleep right away at 10pm. At home, I was used to getting to bed at 8:30 with trying to get ahead of the jet lag!
But it was hard to try and sleep that early. The cabin was still lit. The eye mask that came with my neck pillow worked well. The neck pillow worked well. Earplugs were ok. At one point I tried my noise cancelling headphones but I realized I didn’t have a usb to headphone adapter, I only had a lightning to headphone adapter! Nooooo. I couldn’t try some music to get me to sleep.
It’s 4am Canada time and they are serving yogurt and some sweet bread. I’m not sure why they were serving chicken and pasta around midnight, but they did!
Here’s to hoping I make my connection. The plane I’m on was delayed a bit because some connections didn’t make it and they had to remove their luggage.
In the night I heard something drop. Hours later, I was looking for my AirPods in my pocket and they were gone! I asked the woman behind me if she had seen any headphones. She was nice enough to get some her purse. I don’t think she understood what I was asking her to look for on the floor. She was nice.
In the end, I was smart enough to put my AirPods in my bag in a semi-sleep and I had forgotten about it.
When landing in Frankfurt, I was surprised by the amount of greenery in the city.
