Sunday, March 18, 2007 - Travel Day

We left today at around 10am and drove to Dulles Airport (Washington D.C.) to meet Steve & Libby (they were returning from their vacation) but had offered to host our car at their townhouse while we are away. The Lufthansa counter didn't open until 2:30pm so we ended up handing over our car keys and not having lunch with Steve & Libby. We finally got through the ticket counter and through security and had some lunch - or an early dinner as it was almost 4pm. Boarded the 747 plane around 6:30pm. The flight was supposed to leave the gate at 6:55pm. There was a slight delay, a passenger had some issues that needed to be resolved with Customs. And so we left the gate a little after 7pm.

I wrote these thoughts on the plane-

Have 2 1/2 hours more until we get to Frankfort. Should be sleeping but it is too warm on the plane and I feel like I can't breath. Still can't believe we are finally going back. I'm a little nervous . We land in Moscow on Monday afternoon, court is Tuesday. Let's hope all goes smoothly and it doesn't snow since we left our boots at home.

The flight wasn't as bad as last time. We had dinner at 9:30-10pm (EST) then its only 4 hours more. They turned down the lights and we could sleep for a few hours 'til we land.

The flight didn't seem as long but maybe its because we knew where we were going, we also had more left room as we flew the whole way on Lufthansa planes.
