Debbie and Larry spent a restless night in anticipation of the early shuttle. They received a 3 AM wake up call for the 4 AM shuttle (Debbie does not think that one should have to leave a vacation at any time that starts before 8 AM. )  They were surprised to find that the shuttle had 20 other people going to the airport at 4 AM.  Everyone pretty much everyone sat in a stupor on the bus.

The Athens airport was busy but not that large.  We flew to Zurich for the first leg.  Le Cheap Girl Debbie went into sticker shock in Zurich.  We had a layover in Zurich with time to each lunch.  Larry opted for Burger King.  He purchased a 12 Euro Whopper.  Larry did point out that he could have gotten the Whopper Meal for 16 Euro.  Debbie has decided that she will not be going back to Switzerland even though the view from the plane was great.

The Zurich plane was only half full.  Debbie jumped up and moved as soon as the door closed.  It was a nice flight with no one sitting beside us.  Debbie and Larry had their fill of movies.

By the time that they got to Washington DC, they had been traveling 23 hours and were a little goofy.  Debbie and Larry were able to blast through passport control due to Global Entry.  They picked up their luggage and inquired about changing flights to catch the 5 PM instead of 10:30 PM flight.  It was going to cost an additional $300, required going out to the ticket counter and back through security.  They opted not to change flights.  They proceeded to customs to be tagged by the drug dog.  Debbie had a banana in her backpack.  (Debbie actually thinks that Larry had the issue with the dog but she confessed to the banana). This required going in a special room, explaining what you did, and having your luggage scanned.  (Bananas seemed to be number one violator).  Once we got to security, Larry was pulled aside for water in his backpack.  Goofy describes them well.

We could have saved them money.

We finally boarded and had our worst travel experience of the whole trip. The plane creaked, bounced you around and was uncomfortable.  Snoring was rampant in the plane for those that could go to sleep.  Larry’s description of Debbie on the plane was someone fidgeting for 3 hours.

Once we landed, everyone rushed off the plane to find the bathrooms closed until you got to baggage claim.  There was a lot of fast walking from the passengers.   Luckily, our bags arrived quickly and we arrived at the house 40 hours after we started.

So in conclusion, we had a wonderful vacation.  We visited 4 countries (counting the US), walked 350 miles plus, visited countless churches, had unforgettable experiences and  a wonderful time.

Thanks to Joyce for arranging so many details.  Thanks to our traveling companions, Jerry, Joyce, Don and Greg for the great time.  Thanks to our readers for going on vacation with us.
