Aaron and I were both so ready to move back to Texas, so it is no surprise that we hardly slept the night before our flight. Connor was wide awake from the moment we woke him up that morning. I think he was really excited too. We had to leave the hotel by 3am so that Connor and I could catch the shuttle to the airport. Aaron went with a friend and he took both the dogs and all of our luggage. By the time Connor and I arrived, he was already waiting in line to check in. It went mostly smoothly, and the dogs were pretty nervous, but we got them checked in and my worries subsided some.
At the airport, Connor requested his favorite salami and bread sandwich
that we has grown to love while living in Italy. He loves them and the ones at the airport are the
perfect size. Definitely over priced, but still worth it. I also came
prepared with snack boxes and toys just like out last flight back to the
states.
Both flights went very smooth. The first one was really short. It went to Frankfurt and we had a short two hour layover. We went through customs and then Connor played in the indoor play area until our next flight. The second flight was long. Like over 10 hours because it went straight to DFW. We were so ready to get off and see our dogs. When we got off the plane and were about to get our luggage we were greeted with our dogs. Turns out they did great. Neither had any accidents and they were so happy to get out of their kennels and walk around when we got outside.
Connor took about a three hour nap on the second flight.
Safely back on American soil.
It's so nice to be back in the state that we both call home and surrounded by our family. It's been six years since we have lived here, and we are so happy to be right in between both of our families for at least three years while Aaron is stationed at Fort Hood.
XOXO,
Jenn
