Rough Day

The bad news of the day:
Well, as we get closer to the date (5 days) things get a little more nerve-wrecking for us.
When I got to work this morning I was told that Lufthansa (the airline for our flight) had begun a strike that was to last 4 days. (but possibly much longer) Of course, that would mean the strike would be over before we even arrived at the airport but my main concern was the backlog of people that lay in wait.
This has been a big concern of mine for some time. When I see a news report on TV about a strike I have often thought of this happening to us.
Lufthansa is Frankfurt's main hub so I can only imagine the chaos that would ensue.


The good news of the day:
About 3:00 today, thankfully, they decided to hold off on the strike for 2 weeks. So that allows us to get out of here and over there before they resume the strike. I think I might have checked Lufthansa's website no less than 50 times today thinking a good update would be just around the corner. I feel like we dodged a huge bullet today.

What's next....?
