ok, the little organizer that I am, I figured we better establish who is writing this so that you are not confused.... ;-)
After a tumultuous week, now sitting relaxed at the gate waiting for Ottawa flight with a Timmy's by my side looking at the sunshine we are leaving. Great timing there, it rains: we stay, it gets sunny: we leave. We purchased a mascot which will follow us along this trip and who surely will have his/her (I am secretive) pic taken a few times. Thanks to Lynn and her sock monkey in Mongolia who became such a good friend, he is even on my facebook friend list.
We got emergency exit rows from Ottawa to Frankfurt, so the day is looking brighter and brighter (all you tall readers with longer legs will understand).
Chels got searched from head to toe....a strange pic appeared on the screen and the search began. Starting with zipper 1 and ending with knapsack zipper number 27, I'm sure...after discussing every item squeezed into the knapsack as a group (we bonded with the airport employees), the search for what looked like a jackknife finally ended with a can of pringles.....the end cap sideways looks like a knife. Well, you learn something new every day. So did the guy who insisted it was a jackknife. I'm sure I saw him blush....just like our mascot....he also wondered why Chels would carry a cassette tape in the year 2009. The "cassette" ended up being little Ipod Speakers. Well, it is early in the day. We'll give him a break, we"d rather be searched than not nowadays.
