Made It! (And a special thankyou to Frankfurt Airport's magical hallway of requirment)


Well, it looks like we made it safe and sound to Dublin. It was actually a pretty decent flight (well, 3 to be exact - DC to Boston to Frankfurt to Dublin). And, considering I went through security a grand total of 5 times (once at each airport, because our transferring airports were laid out weird, and an extra 2 times at Reagan because we were early, lines were short, and I wanted to grab a sandwich from one of the food places in a different terminal. It was worth taking my shoes off twice.) without incident, scans or grops (well for me, Zach, who never took any extra sandwich trips, got both scanned and groped, because he's just lucky. Or because beards are scary.).

But the best part of the whole flight, was getting off the plane in Frankfurt at 5am, with a 5 hour layover ahead of us, and not having slept a wink on the flight over, and finding row after row after row of cots. I almost cried when I realized I might actually get to sleep. Real sleep, not awkward curled up in a horrible chair trying to ignore a never ending stream of useless announcements faux-sleep. Oh, there were minimal announcements too. Ir was all very magical.

Anyways, we're now in Dublin. I'm sure it will be great enough to bump unexpected cots off of being my favorite part of the trip, but I assure you it will be a tough competition.

  2. I think every college and university needs an area like this full of cots...college students have no shame when it comes to sneaking in a nap between classes- I definitely would have taken advantage of that kind of perk!
