Hello from Germany!

So we made it to Munich safe and sound. Our flight was delayed leaving Vancouver by about an hour, but it took us 3 hours to get our bags checked and through security and everything anyway, so it wasnt (cant find the apostrophe on this computer - German keyboards are confusing) that big a deal.

The flight was 10 hours long, but we both slept for about the first 8 of those hours. The seats were a little cramped - as Sara warned us they might be on air transat - but when you're asleep (I found the apostrophe) it doesn't really matter. At least we got two meals. And we got to watch "Cheaper By The Dozen 2".

We took first a train and then a bus to this youth hostel called "The Tent" that we read about in our handy travel Europe book. It's pretty neat. There was a campfire last night outside, then we slept in this huge-ass tent on a mat with a bunch of wool blankets. There was a group of girls that wouldn't stop talking and giggling, and FINALLY when they did, one of them was such a loud snorer. I think the comments "baby elephant" and "kazoo up her nose" were both used. (Although, I still think Allanah has her beat.)

But now it is 8am, Munich time. After having a shower and drying off with paper towels, we seriously wondered why it was we didn't bring any regular towels. But we are now dry and have eaten nd still have 13 hours until our flight to London leaves. So we'll have to leave for the airport in about 8.

mY LAST COMMENTS didn't seem to get on the site. I had just talked to you and was wishing I had talked longer. I wanted to tell you to call if you needed us to send anything.
You are probably in Poole now, and very tired. I am thinking of you each day and wondering what sidewalk you are walking down, as I am walking down the Kelowna sidewalks.
A bit of sad news - chuck's sister passed away yesterday after a long battle with breast cancer. she was only 47. Really sad. She was a really nice lady.
Keep safe you guys, and call again when you get a chance, and keep posting to your site, it warms my heart.
Loads of love and hugs,
MMYT (mom, missing you terribly).
