We left the MTC early on Wednesday morning and flew from Salt Lake City to Chicago, then to Frankfurt and then on to Berlin. The 8 1/2 hour flight to Frankfurt was overnight but due to the time change it was a short night. Since the airplane was only about half full we were both able to lay down across 3 seats and rest but not sleep.
Frankfurt airport
It is truly amazing that you can travel halfway around the world and never go outside.
We arrived in Berlin at 7 a.m. local time. The mission president and his wife, Henry and Elke Kosak, were there to meet us with one of the office couples. We were especially glad to see them because three of our four checked bags did not arrive. They helped us deal with this problem. Then we all went out to breakfast with the other office couple. Since our bags didn't come we were unable to travel on to our final destination and had to stay overnight with the Kosaks in their home
Our luggage was delivered late that evening just as the group was returning from a buffet dinner at a local hotel. Here is the address to Henry's Germany Berlin Mission blog http://germanyberlinmission2012-15.blogspot.de/
I haven't discovered how to make it a link.
He included a welcoming picture of us there.
