Day 1: Mostly travel

This blog is intended to illustrate our vacations and serve as a place where we can go to relive them as well as for others to kind of experience what we did. We hope you enjoy it!

I am structuring this a bit differently than a normal blog, in that instead of the first entry occurring near the bottom of each trip, the last entry will. Each day of the trip will be its own entry, but all will be on the same day.

Our first trip to be chronicled here is a recent trip that Brian and I took to Prague, Czech Republic. It was our first time to this country, and the first time we were taking a trip to a country where neither of us knew the language. It went surprisingly well!

Here is Brian at Chicago's O'Hare airport, waiting for departure. Believe it or not, I had never eaten a Cinnabon before! Brian thought I was making that up. Of course, I have had cinnamon rolls, but not like this. There are Cinnabon outlets all over this airport. We got one and shared it. Here is Brian, a bit exhausted, at New York's JFK airport, waiting for the plane to Prague. You can see that he doesn't look particularly happy! Our flights went well on departure day.
And here is the meal that was served on the flight. We flew Czech Airlines. It was pleasant enough, but the airline does not have the accommodations we've had on past trans-Atlantic flights. There were no TV screens embedded in the chairs; just a few monitors that pulled down. I am able to read on flights, so this wasn't a problem for me, but Brian is unable to read, so this bothered him a bit more. The food, however, was delicious! We had been told that only a snack would be served, so this came as a pleasant surprise.
