So yes we did finally make it to Germany and have semi-settled into our new apartment (pics soon to come), but not without some bumps in the road and typical "Amanda" stuff being done along the way. Here is a synopsis of our adventure up to this point:
The flight over here went better than expected as far as Jackson goes. He slept all but 3 hours of the flight. However, mommy maybe got a 30 minute nap in towards the end while Jackson snoozed on dad. Hte nice thing was that the flight was not very full so they gave us our own row, which worked out nicely.
Then we get to Munich and the fun begins literally as soon as we step foot off the plane. Apparently the people in the Munich airport think you are just going to I don't ride up and down for fun on the elevators that bring you in from the cold to inside the terminal, and therefore require you to have a key to operate their elevators given only to specific personnel. Once we got to the elevator we were the third stroller in line, eventually someone came but they could only get two strollers on the elevator at a time, so we were left to wait. Then somehow the FORGOT us!!!!!!!! How do you forget people on the cold, especially when there is a baby and the temperature is like 10 degrees. Rob ended up climbing stairs through the airport to find one of the magic keyholders to finally come get us. Then upon coming out of Customs we expected to see a sign for our driver who was picking us up, this was so not the case and since we were left behind outside the rest of our group were already gone. Finally after waiting forever, paging the driver, 2 of Rob's co-workers coming to our rescue, a 1/2 mile hike, and waiting another 30 minutes we were finally on our way out of the airport.
We were then about 30 minutes in to our drive when I realized I had left my phone in the seat pocket of the plane.....ugh...I am still dealing with this mess. Apparently Luthansa airlines would prefer me to come and look in their lost and found to see if they have my phone. It is in a HOT PINK case, how hard can it really be look in there and see if you see it, unless they just happen to have an entire lost and found filled with only hot pink items.
Our apartment is really nice and bigger than I thought it would be. However, lucky us managed to get the winning apartment whose toilet was connected to the shower.This then entailed my first morning here getting to know the plumber as he worked from 8-11am to fix the commode. I am happy to say though we now have a working bathroom. Besides this, our time here in Burghausen has been amazing. Everyone here is super nice, the scenery is amazing ( Who gets to drive by a castle to go get gas....ummmm that would be me!), and the food is good to. Though I do have to say the first meal we ate out here was at McDonalds.
Well I have to run. They are keeping us super busy going from one thing to the next. We are getting ready to leave to go to a Wine tasting. So it should be a good time. I hope to get some pictures posted this weekend. AufWiedersein!
Sounds like you are having an amazing time already. I so miss living over there. Can't wait for pictures, and I hope you get your phone back soon!
