Frankfurt

First leg of the trip complete!!! It was a long 9 hours stuffed in the 2 middle seats of the middle row…not ideal. We were claustrophobic and super hot. Good thing we dressed in layers!


We are now in Frankfurt having a lovely layover. In order to get to the gate we had to go through another security checkpoint. We hadn’t realized this and had just bought a $5 coke that they promptly threw away. While Dustin was being scolded for the liquids, I was taken away for advanced screening. We finally get done with security and head to the café to attempt round 2 of getting a coke. We went to the gate and got comfy and were then kicked out. For security reasons, we cannot sit at our gate until closer to boarding time so we are currently camping out on the floor in the approved area.

The good news is that we have the longest flight behind us! I can’t believe we are getting closer and closer!! Tonight we will finally be in Kazakhstan!
