Waiting in Frankfurt

We have landed in Frankfurt. It's 10am here, 2am back in California. We are exhausted and just passing the time in one of the lounges. We had a nice flight over but I didn't really sleep. I ended up watching 2 movies. Funny enough they were both adoption stories...Juno and August Rush. I had been wanting to see them both, so that was a nice treat. And they sure did get me even more excited to see my daughter!




We flew the same route we did the first trip...from Ca to Frankfurt on Lufthansa. I really like Lufthansa airlines. The customer service is amazing, from the ticket counters to the flight crew. Everyone is just so nice and helpful. There was a mother traveling alone with a child under 2 and the flight attendants checked in on her frequently, brought the mother a bag full of toys for her child to play with, meals, played with the baby, etc. The planes we have been on are new and have the latest conveniences. The food is really good on the flights too. When we landed in Frankfurt the terminal was packed so our 747 was parked away from the gates and they had 3 big buses waiting to take the passengers to the terminal. It was raining and there was no cover once leaving the stairway and yet the flight attendants stood at the bottom and escorted older passengers to the buses, assisted families traveling with small children. They even ran over to the men unloading the luggage off the plane and brought over all the strollers to the parents so they could have them at the terminal before they got to baggage. And all with a smile. Just impressed by them. I wish there was a domestic carrier that had as great of service in the states!

Well..that's all for now. We have a three hour layover and should be in St Pete this evening. I can't wait to get to the hotel, shower and crash. And then tomorrow it's off to the babyhome to see our little girl!

Until then everyone!
