A week ago today, we were able to catch one of the first flights to leave the US for Europe for our long planned trip to Germany. Thank goodness the flight restrictions because of the volcano were lifted. We were pretty anxious about whether we'd really get to go or not. In fact, the day before we flew Su's dad's flight here was cancelled which made us even more nervous.
But we got very lucky and our flight took off as planned. We have had a wonderful time in Germany thus far. We've all had a bit of jet lag but on the bright side, the first night we were here we all slept for more than 10 straight hours. Su slept some on the redeye flight but I did not so she was somewhat more alert than I was. I was sure that one or both of the boys would be up fussing but nope, everyone crashed. Alleluia!
The boys' great grandfather turned 90 yesterday and we had a nice time visiting him and now we are continuing our tour visiting the other 30 some cousins, aunts and uncles who are all equally delighted to see us (well mostly the boys of course!)
My German language skills are still horrible but it does not seem to stop me from talking (in German even :-) The food here is wonderful, the weather cool but lovely and overall on a scale of 1-10 this trip is about an 11.
I'll write more when we return. This German keyboard confuses me!! -M

Glad you made it out. I hope you have a wonderful time with all your German relatives!
sounds like an awesome trip!
I love Koln! I hope that the cathedral is looking better and I could spend hours in the chocolate museum!
News flash. Susanne just informed me that we did not all sleep 10 straight hours that first night. Benji cried and she fed him--I just never heard a sound. So apparently Danny and I slept for 10 straight hours... -Monica
