GERMAN ADVENTURE – Day 1, Post 2  

            Can’t seem to access WiFi at JFK Airport in New York, but I’ll put some of this down anyway.

            At the Minneapolis airport – found our gate just fine.  Had a breakfast sandwich, then got to play “bag drag” – everyone for the flight was at gate 6, until the announcement came that they moved the flight to gate 3.  On your  mark, get set, drag all your bags to gate 3! 

            Once the plane was loaded (full plane, threatened to make us check some of our carry-ons, but we managed to keep our stuff together) and the door was closed, the stewardess asked if there was a physician on the plane!  A passenger had gone into the restroom and then got heart palpitations, so we had to wait for a paramedic crew to come and get him off the plane.  Then, because of questionable weather in New York, we sat on the runway for 20 minutes.  End result was that we were about an hour late getting into New York.  Made no difference to us, since we have a scheduled 5 hour layover here anyway.  We are at our gate, and will enjoy watching New York people for a while.  Brian suggested we go have fun in New York, but when we thought about 3 carry-ons for each of us (which we would have to drag along,) and go back through security again in New York this time, we decided to stay put.  So, this is where we are for now.
