All advice said to arrive 3 hours early for my flight. I woke up before my alarm and had no reason to delay the morning. I packed and left hotel before their breakfast service, around 5:15. It was raining lightly while I schlepped my luggage back to the shuttle, and back to the terminal. By 6:30 I was at my gate with 2 1\/2 hrs to wait. I thought there would be a Monday morning rush, but I must be ahead of the crowds. The business lounge is great to have in these situations for food, WiFi, and quiet. I found a corner with outlets and ate breakfast slowly while watching some sewing and ballet videos. I\u2019m glad I put my Annie Bouquet project in my carryon bag! My sock knitting project is good for planes and short bursts only (it gets boring).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 4 gate changes I got on the plane to Frankfurt. The pilot said there was a lot of traffic. In Frankfurt I purposefully walked in circles for exercise and had lunch in the lounge. I wasn\u2019t sure how to handle sleep. I wanted to stay awake the whole flight so I can sleep when I get to Colorado in the evening. But, as Sam says, sleeping is time travel. I aimed for a good nap after the meal service to match the plane lighting, and I got about 3 hours. The seats were spacious and comfortable (except the headrest). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

it was a very long and bumpy descent into to Denver as usual. Immigration\/customs was smooth and Ben picked me up with comforts from home! He brought me a large icy water, peanut MMs, and a hoodie! \ud83d\udc9c Now I\u2019m home. I had a relaxing shower and watched an anime with Ben. Sam and Jack are taller than I remember. It\u2019s good to see my three boys again. \ud83d\udc9c. Except for the nap, I\u2019ve been awake for 24 hours. I want to read\/watch online a little bit before I go to sleep, but I\u2019m having a hard time. I have disembarkment syndrome so the room is swaying and bobbing. I hope it goes away soon! Tomorrow I\u2019ll tackle my laundry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the end of my tale! It was a remarkably smooth trip with plenty of happy occasions and great experiences. Good night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
