Safe Arrival

Josh and I took our car to the drop off location and took a shuttle to Bush Airport.  After getting through security we made it to our gate with an hour and a half to spare.  When boarding began we were shuttled to the front of the line because we were a "family with children."  The flight went well.  Josh loved the warm cloths to wipe your hands and face.  After double checking our second boarding pass I realized that we would be landing as boarding was starting on our next flight.  We ran through the Frankfurt airport--Josh with his backpack and I with a backpack, heavy computer bag, and our Barkley.  We made it to our gate with five minutes to spare.  We made our flight but our baggage did not, which fortunately was delivered that same night.  The equivalent of the FDA had an agent to inspect our papers and our Barkley (he was perfect--not a single whine, whimper, or bark, and he got lots of treats) and we were through to the lobby to greet mommy.  What a happy reunion!  Five minutes after we got to the house Josh took his scooter and went across the street to play at the elementary school and thus began our life in Norway.
