we're here! and without meltdowns, arguments, or delays! however, we did have 1 vomit incident by david.

the flight gets a solid B+. it gets the less than perfect score due to the previously mentioned vomiting from a large swallowed piece of beef. and it would have been nice if naomi had fallen asleep right away instead of putzing around for 2 hours. but other than that i will not complain - the flight was probably less than half full so we had plenty of seats to stretch out on. mike was the desginated sleeper on the flight since he has to get on european time right away for work. i slept ok, and by ok i mean not more than 2 hours.

we picked up our bags only to find 1 fewer army duffles than we were expecting. well, there were 3 duffles going around on the baggage carousel but one of them was somebody else's. when we were the last people waiting for baggage it was clear that somebody had taken ours instead. as we were waiting to fill out paperwork for the lost bag a man came walking back into baggage claim looking very embarassed. we switched bags and were quickly off in a big taxi (to accommodate our stuff) to our temporary home.
