We got up early and made it to the airport at 5:15 AM and met up with Heidi's work colleague who was nice enough to drive our car back home. It had snowed the day before but had stopped but the skies and weather report threatened more. We got our 13 bags into the airport and got them weighed and tagged and on the conveyor. Security was a breeze and only Heidi got the wand treatment. We then boarded the 1st plane with it starting to snow a gale but after the deicing we lifted off for Phoenix and made it with 5 hours before the next flight to Philadelphia.
We had a less then stellar lunch at Chili's in Phoenix and wandered around the airport finding a kids play area which was nice. There we some kids playing there that had lived in Ann Arbor which was funny. We then got on the plane and of course because we had only 1hr 19 mins for our next connection to Zurich the plane was 1 hr late leaving Phoenix. Luckily they made up some time and we got there only 20 mins late. So then we discover the terminal is on the other side of the airport and walk briskly for 30mins we get on the plane just in time.
The plane was a little crusty and the movie died half way through but all was well and the kids slept pretty well after dinner and into the next day. The good news was that our flight to Zurich was 1 hr less then predicted and we arrived before our ride. We found all of our bags and headed through customs and they just waved us through. We waited for 15 mins before Auntie Kim and Zoe arrived.
