Coming Home

Today was all about travelling home. We left the hotel at 7am Monday in Munich time, which was 11pm Sunday night at home. We took the metro to the airport and were wheels up ontime. I watched back-to-back movies during the 10-hour flight, which kept me pretty content.

Once we landed in Atlanta we encountered storms. As a result, our flight was delayed 40 minutes, then an hour, then a couple, then several, etc. On the bright side, we ran into a friend Kathy who also happened to be flying from Atlanta to Milwaukee. Our 4pm flight boarded closer to 10pm and actually left closer to 11:30. We arrived in Milwaukee after 1:30 AM Tuesday. We took a shuttle to get Kathy's car and Kathy then drove Dawn and I to our sister's home to get our car.

I received a voicemail saying that my car battery was dead, but Jeff and Christine jump started it so it should be good. After a few detours and fog we arrived at my sister' place. The car reluctantly started, so we were now on our way. We stopped for gas and caffeine and got back on the highway. The fog was thick in spots, but overall wasn't too bad. My internal clock also thought it was later in the morning, so it was surprisingly not too bad staying awake. After dropping off Dawn I arrived at home just before 4am. Only 29 hours of travel door to door :-)
