Ready for Take-off?

after all the work getting ready, we woke up excited to start our second trip to Europe.  the trip to the airport was smooth as our house-sitter chauffered us and we arrived 2 hours ahead of time.  it's a good thing we did too as it nearly took that long to check in and get through security.  the flight left about twenty minutes late which I belive was largely due to how slow their checkin line was and no electronic kiosk to checkin.  the delays didn't leave us much time to look for inflight reading material.  we had hoped to buy our favorite travel mini-guides at teh airport bookstore but sadly didnt find them.  i'm now writing after 6-7 hours of flying.  flight has been smooth.  condor is a german airline and the crew is german.  they all speak english but one flight attendant didn't understand when I asked for a deck of cards.  i think the girls are finally sleeping.  neither sam or i have been able to.  <insert pics of us in flight>

we saw another magnolia family on the flight - Delany Kirchmire (sp?). I think they're heading to germany and paris.  looks like they're bringing breakfast now.  talk to you later
