GERMAN ADVENTURE – Day 1, Post 1

            Don’t know just how this will all work out, but…

            Someone once said “The best-laid plans of mice and men gang oft astray.”  The best­-laid plans of Bill and Dea work the same way!  Dea was up at 2:00 this morning; too excited to sleep.  The alarm woke me up at 3:30 and scared the daylights out of me – I was sound asleep! 

            We had planned to call a cab to take us to the airport, but Dea’s cousin Dori and her husband Dave Robbins came to pick us up and take us out.  Such wonderful friends!  We got to the airport about 5:00 a.m. with a suitcase and 3 carry-ons each – good thing Dave drove his pickup!  Went to check-in, and found out that our first leg to Detroit was going to be 2 hours late.  So we are going to Minneapolis instead!  That’s OK, but… been there-done that!  Actually, from Minneapolis we will go directly to JFK in New York and then on to Berlin.  The down side is that this flight will leave an hour later than our original flight – we could have slept another hour!  So here we sit, bleary-eyed, but anxious to get going.  More later.
