Part one. Canada to Germany

Well, here are some pictures and stories from the first part of our trip.

We started off flying out of Calgary at 10am for our flight to Frankfurt Germany.

Our wonderful Airline carrier was a german company called Lufthansa. I feel i need to take this time to really talk about how highly i thought of them. They were awesome. All the stewards were super nice and the food was great and everything was just peachy.

And there are our tickets. I was pretty excited. I have never flown anywhere but from calgary to abbotsford so this was a new experience for me.

We were ready to go and excited for our trip. Even though we had a 9 hour flight ahead of us to Frankfurt. After a couple of hours we were served our dinner/lunch which was some pretty good lasagna(i didn't get a picture of it though). After that i figured it was a good time for some "out of plane" pictures and such.

After this we watched some movies and tv show on the plane. And before we knew it they were serving us some breakfast. It turned out to be an omlette, a hashbrown and some fruit. Once again i was very impressed with the quality of the plane food. I had heard so many horror stories about food in the air but this airline was great.

Our trip was going so great that we actually got into frankfurt early. So it was only an 8 and a half our flight. Unfortunetly that did mean that our 6 hour layover turned into a 7 hour layover. Sandra and i couldn't really fall asleep on the plane so we decided that it would be best to just stay awake and go to bed when france went to bed. I took the opportunity to see what the headlines were in germany.

After about 3 or 4 hours we were pretty exhausted but we were afraid to fall asleep and miss our plane so we resorted to this.....

FINALLY after 7 HOURS we boarded our smaller plane and we headed to St Chamon to meet up with the french family. I took the opportunity on this flight to take a nap and pretty much as soon as i got seated i passed right out and didn't wake up until we were about to land.

Well that was phase one of our trip. Up next...........................

FRANCE
