Getting here was half the fun. not…

Where to start? ok, so we woke up and did the last little “getting ready frenzy” then i said goodbye to everyone and cried for about forty-five minutes in the car until i fell asleep. then when we got there, a guy helped us load all our eight checked luggage on to a cart. we went inside and started checking in and found out that it was 8:23 and that our flight was leaving at 8:30. needless to say, we missed it. so we got on to a flight that left at somewhere around 9:30 but then should get to Atlanta just in time for us to run to our connecting flight to Dusseldorf. so we got on that just fine and peachy. Then there was really bad weather on our course so we had to go on a detour that took us a lot further north. Then we ran out of fuel and had to land in Knoxville, tennessee. Our plane got refueled and we sat there. Then it flew on to Atlanta. We had missed our flight by now and there’s only one flight a day to Duseldorff so we were either stuck in Georgia for the night or had to find an alternate route. we chose the second option. So we ran to catch a flight that was off to Manchester, England. Aren’t you jealous Katie? It was pretty cool. except weird. but i liked listening to the people there talk. they really do say things like “cheers” and “jolly good” it’s so funny. then we walked down the stairs and down on to the runway thingy to walk up the stairs onto our plane. it was tiny. it had two seats, then an aisle, then two more seats. on the plus side, there was a whole cricket team full of cute boys sitting right behind us. We got to Duseldorff to find that none of our luggage had arrived with us so we just rented a car and went to Elst to find our house. oh, and somewhere in there, i lost my very new, very nice, digital camera. And for the past two days we’ve been shopping for stuff for our house. My bed and wardrobe will get here on Thursday but in the mean time I’m sleeping on an air mattress and living out of my suitcase. fun fun. well, i would check the spelling and make it longer and more detailed but i gotta go. we don’t have internet yet so we’re sitting in a hotel, stealing theirs.
