4,224 miles, 26 hours, 5 people, 4 airports..... 1 destination.

The sun was shining brightly as we headed to the Tulsa International Airport. It was already hot and forecasters were predicting 105° for the day...

Our flight was scheduled to leave Tulsa for Chicago at 10:30am, and then connect to our flight to Frankfurt at 3:30pm. Then a short flight to Nuremberg, and our trip should've been done. But after our luggage was checked in, everything changed.

There wasn't even one single cloud in the sky in Tulsa, but our flight to Chicago couldn't leave until it came; and Chicago was basically shut down all day due to bad weather. So we waited... ... ... seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours, and hours to.... ok, that was lame.... :P

Our flight finally was able to leave at 3:15, which meant that we missed our next flight to Frankfurt. Fortunately, they were able to hook us up with a flight to Paris, but even that was delayed! We were about to take off when the storm hit. So for 3 hours we were stuck on the runway, listening to the lightening and watching the thunder. Thank God for movies.. ... .... .... ... .....

We were going to have a 6 hour layover in Paris, but since we were delayed 3 hrs in Chicago, and then in Paris they didn't let us get off for another hour after we landed, we didn't get to go anywhere... :/ but at least I can say that I went to Paris.. .. .. .. .. :)

Then, after a short and uneventful flight to Nuremberg, we found out that they didn't transfer our check-ins with us. SO.... we didn't have any luggage other than our carry-ons, until Wednesday evening.... lol

So yeah... that's basically all I have time to write about now... I'll post some more pix when I can! :)

2 euro's for a cup of coffee the size of an espresso shot!

a lifesaver during 6 hr layovers.... lol
