Bill and I have been packing now for several weeks getting ready for our trip to Europe.  The day has finally arrived Yeah!!!  Landon took us to the airport and dropped us off on his way to Salt Lake to go to school.  We left SLC at 5:20 pm, we waiting on the run way for 20 minutes due to airconditioning failure, they finally got it working and we took off.  We were looking at a 15 hour flight-I started by looking for 2 to 3 open seats so when it was time to sleep I could lay down.  I grabbed a couple and enc. Bill to do the same. He did not so he had to sleep sitting up.  I traded him later on in the night so he could lay down and rest better.  At the beginning of the flight they served dinner-we had fetucine, salad, roll, cheese and crackers and a brownie for desert.  While we were eating they showed the movie x-men, not my favorite, but something to do on the flight.  We had an ok night sleep, it is always hard to sleep well.  (No pictures to show).  We were just so excited since we have never been to Europe.  We look forward to all the history we will be seeing.  Bill did a great job planning everything.  The only thing I wished I had done was to get more pages in my passport.  We traveled so many places in Latin America that I did not think to do this.  When we got to Paris and checked through customs, the customs clerk said to me "you might have a problem".  It worried Bill and I the whole trip, when they stamp your passport they don't make good use of the pages and stamp right in the middle.  So, your pages run out fast.  Anyway, everything worked out just fine.
