Friday, June 6-Saturday June 7

As I mentioned in my previous post, I am taking a trip to Europe for the next week and a half. I will be blogging all the way about my experiences. I will try and write every day, but as there isn’t always free wifi I will have to upload in bunches when i can. 

On Friday morning I woke up and we drove to the Pittsburgh Airport. Me and my mom went in the morning, and my dad picked up my sister up after school. We flew on two planes to Washington Dullas Airport and I had a long time to wait. We arrived in Dullas around 11AM, my sister and dad got there around 3 PM, and our flight to Frankfurt did not leave until 5:30 PM. To pass the time, I listened to some podcasts, read the blogs about WWDC, and video chatted with Jack Moore, http://www.macfever.co.uk and http://www.twitter.com/jackmoore/. For lunch, we had delicious sandwiches from “Potbelly Sandwiches” and we each got a WHOLE PICKLE with our lunch! They were so good we got sandwiches for dinner to take on the plane, because everyone knows airplane food sucks.

Finally our plane arrived. My sister, Caroline, was very excited because this was her first time on a Boeing 747. We were glad because the four of us got the row of 4 across the middle. We ate our delicious sandwiches, and tried to sleep but I couldn’t. Instead I watched 3 excellent movies, and listened to/watched several podcasts. Finally we landed in Frankfurt. From there we cleared customs, then hurried to our plane to Berlin. This was the only one of the 3 flights i slept on. We landed in berlin, got our luggage, and caught a cab to our hotel, the Westin Grand Berlin.
