We'll it's another trip across the Atlantic Ocean. From Nashville its a short 10 hour trip to Frankfurt. Luckily I got rerouted onto a Lufthansa flight this made the trip so much more enjoyable. It seems to me on American Airlines they act like there doing you a favor to fly with them. On the trip over I sat next to an Egyptian couple who were making there way back to Cairo. They were pleasant enough but the language barrier prevented any real conversation, but it was interesting to watch there interaction with the air crew who seemed very frustrated with them.
Most of the time when you travel to Europe you leave the USA in the evening and arrive in Europe in the morning. My flight landed a 8:10 AM. On the this trip I'm playing tour guide for family members which I thoroughly enjoy. Terri is already in Switzerland hiking with a friend, we eventually will rejoin them later in the week. Once at the gate I walk to the sky train which goes to terminal 2. I stand in line and rent the van we'll be using for the next 12 days. 
Our family that is traveling with us flight was delayed which gave me time to rent and familiarize myself with Mercedes Vito 9 passenger van. So after all the busy work is complete, it is a short two hour wait before they all wander into the Rental Car Center in Terminal 2. It is a 10 minute walk to the Van. We load the bags and we are off to our first destination; Rothenburg od der Tauber River. After a hour and a half drive and a good nights rest we will spend a day walking around a well preserved mid evil town. So far its been the start of an epic adventure.
