Our European Adventure

WOW!  What a move it was.  Tracey ate a turkey sandwich in the Airport in Atlanta and an hour after take-off started tossing her cookies.  This lasted the entire trip.  She had a ride in a wheelchair to the baggage area, where we waited patiently for our bags.  They never showed up, a check with the airline revealed they were still in Atlanta.  You would think that the bags would make their way to our plane in 2 hours.  Luftansa says they will deliver them to Stuttgart.  I call at 630pm and they state they are on there way from Stuttgart Airport.  I hang up and the phone rings, it is the baggage people at the Stuttgart Airport, I must come to customs.  I head out and when I arrive, I am advised of my rights for bringing two illegal knives into Germany.  They confiscated the knives and I pay a 300.00 Euro fine and am on my way.  Next day I check my bags and the other two knives are gone too.  EXPENSIVE!!!  1000.00 worth of knives and 300 Euro fine.  It is Friday and Tracey is still very sick.  Had a fire alarm tonight and had to evacuate the Hotel for a 1/2 hour.  Damn is it cold.  This is a interesting start to our adventure.  Stay tuned!
