And they are off- kind of.

The good news is they left without event yesterday evening. The bad news is the flight was delayed in Philadelphia and they missed the connecting flight in Frankfurt. So as of 5:25 this morning, while we are all awaking to meet the day, they are all sitting, probably snoozing, at the Frankfurt airport. Scheduled to leave for Stuttgart at 1- it will be a while before they make it to Reutlingen and settle in.
