As a travel day, today shouldn't be too crazy. We got up early, had breakfast at the hotel. Then David got the car and we loaded up and headed to the airport, specifically to the car rental area. While driving, right in front of us, someone slammed on the brakes and the car in front of us hit the car in front of him. Very luckily, we were able to stop as did the person behind us!
After several wrong turns, we finally approached the airport, and voila! The GPS disappeared from the phone! No directions, no map. But we followed signs to car rental, found the place, emptied our car, walked to the Enterprise kiosk, and found that we were in the car rental area for Terminal 1, and we needed Terminal 2. Back to the car with all our stuff, had to pay over 5 euros for the 15 minutes we spent in this parking area. Finally found our way to the correct car rental return at the correct Terminal. We returned the car and then navigated our way through the airport to security. Since we had hours, we sat and had a drink, chatted for a long time with a guy from Philly sitting next to us, shopped a little, bought some food for lunch. Then another long line through passport control to finally arrive at our gate. Then we noticed our gate had been changed, so we moved. David was nice enough to buy Adele and I some chocolate bars for "the road".
The flight was long with some turbulence, but we got home safely, got through passport control and baggage quickly. It was a fantastic trip overall!
Sue, your blog post was so vivid, I almost fell into the canal from leaning too close to my screen! The pictures are terrific-- it looks like everyone had a great time!
