So, I'm here in Strasbourg,France visiting my mom (with her husband and my dear siblings.) It's been a week and 4 days now out of my month vacation. It's been so nice to just relax and spend time with my mom I haven't seen in 3 years.
My flight here was kind of a headache. Even though it was only a total of an 11 hr flight, I thought I was never going to get off the plane! My poor butt felt as if it had deflated and had no more "umpf" to it. Ha ha ha! My 8 hr flight from Minnesota to Amsterdam was the killer. T_T The first 1 1/2 hr this guy next to me felt it necessary to share his excitement of his trip to Italy. He was a nonstop chatterbox up until I acted like I wanted to watch a movie.
At the end, I made it safely and soundly. As I was waiting for my mom at the airport I was also waiting for my luggage. Still waiting......and waiting.......and waiting. Then I realized that it wasn't coming!!! Aggghhh!!! Talk about panic! I had a strong feeling this would happen and yet I didn't even care to prepare for this situation. Working at a resort, I should've known better! Things like this happen to people like me!! *grudge!*
We went into the luggage claim office where I had to fill out information regarding my destination address and blah blah blah. Luckily I was going to to my mom's and not some astranged island. She had clothes there for me until my luggage would arrive....which would be the next day 10 o'clock at NIGHT!! OK, Ok whatever. As long as it arrived and not got lost forever in some black hole. For compensation I had a 100 euro credit (which comes out to about $140) that I could use. CHA-CHING! That made my dreadful day alittle better! haha
Overall, the flight experience was cramped, stuffy and long! The end result was worth it though. I will be posting plenty of pictures of my vacation here in beautiful Strasbourg!
