Flight Shenanegains

I don't think thats how you spell that - oh well.

I had a surprise at the Corpus airport when I left - two friends from back at school were there coincidentally, so I got to say hi. Other than that overall my flights went well, I had no trouble making the connections at any airport. i had been worried about my embroidery scissors making it through security at the various airports, but there was no problem. Of course as soon as I pull out my cross stitch stuff on the long flight, I drop my needle (presumably impossible to find). I was able to pick it up catching it randomly on the magnetic strip of my journal, but of course I didn't think of that until we were being served breakfast. I wasn't really able to sleep on the plane except for maybe 2 hours - it didn't really help that my neighbor had his light on whenever a movie wasn't playing. Overall though, things went well. Though I did get almost a full hour of video recording of the inside of my purse on accident - oh well it can be taped over. And when I got to the Dusseldorf airport, I didn't know what to do - somehow I'd gotten all the information about the trip except for what was to happen upon arrival. (though I hear that the two handouts they did give out were contradictory anyways.) So Doug (a fellow student on the study abroad, who was on my last flight) and I managed to get a taxi to AIB, where we're now waiting for our host families to come pick us up.

See the rest of you soon!
