Jetlagged But Psyched

Chris and Harry got us to the airport in plenty of time so we explored the USO.  Nothing fancy but a comfortable, warm environment in which to wait for a delayed flight.  Our flight was smooth and uneventful although the movie choices were limited. I fell asleep while I was eating so they took my food away before I finished.  At least I got about three hours of sleep; G got none.

We breezed through Customs and Immigration to wait around for four hours for our ride to the base.  We did meet a delightful German lady from Cologne named Doris in the interim and hope to get together with her again.

It was Martin Luther King Day and a holiday so they used an different van service that dropped us off at Ramstein instead of Landstuhl.  A cute airman (airwoman?) named Carolina from Texas lent us her cell phone so George could call Sgt. Dobbins to come and rescue us.  We had to wait about an hour and a half so most everything was closed by the time we arrived.  We ate delivery pizza and went to bed.

The countryside along the way was entertaining.  We quickly went from city to farmland to vineyards to forests to mountains.  This area looks like a greener version of Colorado.

Our room is extremely nice.  Separate sitting room and kitchen in addition to the bedroom and bath so we won't have to eat out all the time.  We promise more photos as soon as we get our camera fixed!
