July 10 D-Day

Today we leave our dear Canada behind! Nerds that we are, we dutifully arrive at the airport 3 hours ahead. And what finer way to kill time than dinner at the Toronto Airport Swiss Chalet! Well, for starters, how about an aircraft that is free of mechanical problems, the kind that keep 300 people in their seats on the tarmac for over an hour before the 8-hour flight even begins?

The kids sleep well on the over-night flight, including Bettina, who sleeps in my lap all "night." Bettina and Cornelia both throw up during the descent, one right after the other. But we're here, on another continent. A new, if inauspicious, beginning.
