After a rough start in the airport, with the Paris flight "wide open" with a very good chance of getting first class. The Paris flight decided to be overweight (because of cargo, what we overheard?)
So a quick decision to get on a flight to Chicago, and then an all day sit in Chicago, missed 2 flights 4 hours apart and finally made the last flight on Lufthansa (whom I have never flown).
We did get our own row, which was nice.
Day one was rough, it was 4 am (utah time when we got here and we had been up the entire time)
We tried to stay awake and went down town to a nice little village and got some dinner. It was a nice start to the first few days.
