Fly

We are "finally here". It was a difficult beginning, Rich had to run some errands before we left for the Airport and he had gotten caught in traffic which put us an hour behind our schedule. Once at the airport Rich dropped Mikey and I off with the luggage while he returned the rental car, I ended up waiting for him another half hour. Once inside and in line to check in...{a l-o-n-g} line we finally made it to the counter only to be told that Mikey's kennel was "Not Approved" for their Airline. Visions of a quick Petco trip ran through my mind---wondering if we would even have the time to make this plane, they spoke and said: "you can buy one from us here at the counter for $150.00"... Done, then a kind man walked up and said we could either ship our other carrier empty or we could let them donate it to a local shelter, I said: donate it. To which he replied...their donating, so NO CHARGE for the new kennel. We had to wait another half hour and then made our way through security and to our plane. We were "miles away"...we had to take the tram to our section of the airport, then proceed to walk "forever" to our gate. In fact before we got there, they were making the "final boarding call". Once we were settled in, the Captain had sent someone to tell us that Mikey was now on the plane. OK..Good news, however "some work" had to be completed on the plane; and it would set our departure back a half hour. So After All Of That; we are now in Switzerland!
Rich, Mikey and I went out for a walk to grab some dinner. On our way I was stopped by a man who claimed to be injured and was robbed. He said that he had already gone to the Police but now he needed money to get home- being a good Diplomatic wife- I told him to go to his Embassy and they would be able to help him. His reply was simple..."BITCH" Oh yes....this is turning out to be a "dream come true"
Jet lag is setting in and I just want to sleep and put this day behind me, however I need to stay-up for a few more hours. Tomorrow will be better. {i hope}
