Our day began at 4:45; we left K and A's at 5:30, with Aschi and the kids waving us off. It's about 1.5 hours to Zurich. We made it there and said a teary goodbye to Kim--wahhh. Everything went smoothly; it was a bonus to check in with Swiss as they weren't too picky about the bag weight. Our flight to Frankfurt was quick, and we then found our Frankfurt-Philadelphia flight. This was a better cross-oceanic flight as we had individual entertainment systems, so at least the kids could watch cartoons. They did, and we did, and the time passed. Then it was the joy of customs and reclaiming our bags and rounds of security in Philadelphia. One of the goofiest things US aiports do is make you pay ($3 per cart) for luggage carts -- once again, folks, any thought for those who've just landed from another country? Why are these carts free in Europe? Anyway, all went fine and we staggered through our rounds 0f lines.
The kids slept on the Philly-Phoenix flight--Siena from takeoff to landing, Remy almost so. I, however, did not (see previous post) and we weren't that sad to land and find that we'd missed our Boise flight. In fact, they mis-booked us as the flight had left an hour earlier. We got a hotel room and vouchers and crashed for the night, and took a mid-morning flight up here the next day. It was lovely to see Adrian again on Friday! And to see our luggage all arrive...and, yes, to eat chips and salsa at Baja Fresh. Yum. I guess we're really back home :)
