Switzerland

After about 20 minutes of trying to hail a taxi that was big enough for our seven huge suitcases, and eight carry ons, my mom found a van that was emptying people from a tour of New York. Luckily, the driver said he'd take us to JFK. We drove for literally two hours. My mom timed it. Usually it would take us about 40 minutes to get to the airport, but because of the traffic, it took us double that. When we finally got to the airport, it took us another 15 minutes to check in our bags, and about 20 minutes to go through security. We got on the plane around 7:20 and left the ground around 8:00 pm. We got served lasagna for dinner, and warm croissants for breakfast. Yum! I actually slept a little. I first fell asleep on my brother's shoulder. I moved to the regular sitting position for sleeping, and woke up to find my brother's curly brown hair in my face. He fell asleep on my shoulder. I watched Super 8. I love that movie! I would totally recommend it, only if you are ok with seeing a couple gory parts. Also, don't let little kids watch it. It is too scary. Overall, the plane ride over to Switzerland was a good one.

  2. No - I watched Water for Elephants in front of my seat:) Emme sat in the row in front of me - we were all mixed in with the other 40 people on the plane on our program (students and faculty). I'll have to check out super 8 on the ride home:)

    Emme - Can't wait to hear more!!!!
