Wednesday, July 10, Coppenhagen, Denmark

Ship arrived at 7:00 am in Copenhagen.  We had a nice breakfast in our room and waited for our time to disembark.

We left the ship and traveled by bus through the streets of Copenhagen to the airport, about a 40 minute drive.  We found our way through the hundreds of people and got checked in, deposited "our" luggage and found our gate.  We had a couple of hours in the airport for window shopping and people watching.  We left Copenhagen at 12:55 PM for Munich, Germany. 

We landed out on the tarmac and were bussed to the terminal.  We had to quickly find our way through security to our gate.  Our plane was loading as we arrived at the gate.  We left Munich at 3:35 pm for our 9 hour flight to Chicago.

It was an ok flight, they kept us drinking and eating most of the way.  We arrived a little late in Chicago so had to hurry through customs and security.  Here we had to retrieve our bags and recheck them.  Both bags were placed on the conveyor built at the same time, I tell you this because this will be an important point later!  We arrived at our gate, tired and out of breath, to find out that the flight was delayed to Kansas City.  We went and found a place to have some food and a REAL COLD diet coke and iced water!  We returned to our gate as they were loading the plane. 

We arrived in Kansas City at about midnight and headed to claim the bags and head to the car.  Here is the important part, only one bag showed up!  Lois was without luggage again!  She put in another claim for lost luggage and we headed for the car.  We made it to the house and headed straight to bed.  It was a long 25-hour end to our wonderful adventure to the Baltic Sea.
